Receiving Home

The County of Shasta, through its Department of Support Services, has issued Request for Information 25-11 to identify qualified providers capable of operating Receiving Homes for foster youth. These homes are intended to serve as therapeutic, trauma-informed residential settings for children and youth ages 0 to 17 who have experienced family separation or placement disruptions. The scope of work requires facilities to accommodate between 1 and 10 children, providing 24/7 care, stabilization services, and comprehensive behavioral and developmental assessments to support transition planning. All services must align with California’s Continuum of Care Reform and the provider must obtain licensure as a Temporary Shelter Care Facility through the California Department of Social Services within 12 months of contract execution. This is a non-binding solicitation intended to inform future procurement decisions, with potential funding available through California's Proposition 1 Behavioral Health Bond. Interested entities must submit a formal Letter of Interest in PDF format via the designated electronic procurement portal by October 16, 2024. A critical prerequisite for eligibility is the completion of a Pre-Application Consultation with the Department of Health Care Services, which must be submitted no later than October 15, 2024. All performance and facility operations must take place within Shasta County, California.
