To build local Continuums of Care to Support Youth
The Minnesota Department of Children, Youth, and Families, through its Economic Opportunity and Youth Services Division (STATE), is seeking Proposals from qualified Responders to Build Local Continuums of Care to Support Youth.
This initiative supports the development of a community-based mental health continuum of care to better serve youth at risk of entering, currently involved in, or transitioning from the juvenile justice system. The focus is on early intervention, coordinated care, and trauma-informed approaches.
By building a trauma-aware, responsive workforce, the project aims to create safer, more supportive environments that foster resilience and healing. The resulting framework will serve as a practical guide for families, schools, community organizations, juvenile justice facilities, and other stakeholders to ensure timely, appropriate mental health care for youth.
The term of any resulting contract is anticipated to be for 6 months, from December 1, 2025, until June 30, 2026. STATE may extend the contract up to a total of five (5) years.
Due: December 12, 2025
