DIFFERENTIAL RESPONSE (DR) SERVICESThe County of Riverside Department of Public Social Services is seeking qualified providers to deliver Differential Response (DR) Services aimed at supporting families identified through child abuse or neglect reports that do not require formal child welfare intervention. This initiative offers a flexible, individualized approach to families assessed with low to moderate risk, focusing on preventative, community-based services that strengthen family functioning and ensure child safety without escalating to dependency proceedings or court oversight. The program is designed to reduce future referrals to the child welfare system by addressing underlying issues early through evidence-based practices and active family engagement, with the goal of keeping children safely at home and minimizing system involvement. Referrals are anticipated to range between 300 and 1,000 annually, though no guaranteed volume is provided. Providers must deliver targeted services that improve key outcomes including family depression, stress levels, and overall functioning, while also reducing recurrence and substantiation of allegations, new case openings, and child detentions. Success will be measured through both leading indicators—such as family well-being metrics—and lagging indicators, including comparisons between families who accept services and those who decline. The target population consists of Riverside County families referred to the Child Abuse Hotline where no imminent safety threat is present, and where voluntary, non-adversarial interventions can effectively mitigate risk. Proposals must be submitted by August 27, 2026, with inquiries directed to Monica Mathis of the Riverside County Purchasing Department.
