In response to recent the recent wildfires in the Los Angeles area, San Diego Regional Center (SDRC) proposes the development and implementation of short-term (approximately 3–5 days) emergency shelter services to support individuals served displaced during disasters. The aim is to enhance the ability to respond swiftly and compassionately to emergencies by providing necessary infrastructure, staffing, and supplies to Community Care Licensed providers who can serve as temporary shelter sites. SDRC may elect to fund all, part or none of the projects, depending on funding availability as approved by the Department of Developmental Services (DDS), and the quality of proposals received. SDRC reserves the right to withdraw this RFP and/or disqualify any proposal that does not adhere to the RFP guidelines. Please refer to the attached project list, which briefly describes the service concept and start-up funding availability. The brief descriptions are not intended to limit the types of proposals that will be considered to serve the identified populations. In fact, applications that propose innovative, person-centered service delivery models, as alternatives to the traditional resources described will be favorably considered.
