RFP to Implement and Expand Prevention Services
The Minnesota Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) seeks proposals from qualified community-based organizations, county, and Tribal child welfare organizations to implement or expand a prevention service to prevent child welfare involvement and/or to avoid out-of-home placement of children. These services will support the goals of Minnesota’s Family First Prevention Services Act (FFPSA) Five-year Prevention Plan, which is aimed at preventing children from entering foster care. Review the full FFPSA Prevention Service Request for Proposal here: RFP to Implement and Expand Prevention Services.
