Organizational Sustainability & Transition Planning Consulting

The contract seeks a consultant to develop and implement a comprehensive sustainability plan aimed at transitioning project-funded child welfare services into permanently reimbursable Title IV-E services within an 18-month timeframe. This requires designing a viable financing strategy that ensures long-term fiscal stability and aligning service delivery models with federal policy requirements under Title IV-E to secure ongoing federal funding. The work must include detailed planning for operational integration, stakeholder engagement, and systemic changes necessary to meet eligibility standards and reporting obligations under the federal child welfare program. The contractor is expected to possess expertise in public sector financing, child welfare systems, and federal reimbursement mechanisms, with a proven ability to translate short-term project outcomes into enduring, compliant services. The effort must result in a scalable and auditable transition framework that enables the agency to maintain service continuity and expand capacity without reliance on temporary grants. Subcontractors are invited to respond by the deadline, and the work will be performed under the oversight of the Administration for Children and Families within the Department of Health and Human Services, with no specific geographic location identified for performance.
