These respite services are intended to offer temporary relief to unpaid, informal caregivers of individuals with disabilities of any age, supporting families within the designated service areas. The funding aims to ensure that caregivers receive short-term assistance, thereby enhancing the well-being of both caregivers and individuals with disabilities. The RFQ, titled "Request For Qualifications (RFQ) For Respite Services," was posted on February 7, 2025, with a response deadline of February 28, 2025. The contract size is estimated to range from $500,000 to $2,000,000, and the solicitation is open to qualified organizations under NAICS code 541611. Interested parties can contact Michelle Cuellar via email or phone for further information. The process is part of a broader effort to improve support services for individuals with disabilities and their families within the region, with the selected provider expected to demonstrate capability and experience in delivering quality respite care.
