The RFA seeks experienced and qualified non-profit organizations to provide directly, or by arrangement, all the core services as identified in Welfare and Institutions Code section 4357 and as outlined in the RFA. The DOR may award up to 12 grant awards, with no more than one award per county except in Los Angeles County, where up to two awards will be made. Awards will be made to the highest scored application in each primary county identified by each applicant, and in Los Angeles County, to the two highest scored applications. Applicants must specify the primary county that they are proposing to serve where they have a physical location for in-person services. The term of this grant will be October 1, 2024, or upon approval (whichever date is later) through June 30, 2027. At the DOR’s discretion, one or more grants may be extended for up-to an additional one (1) year under the same terms and conditions, not to extend past June 30, 2029. The determination to extend a grant will be considered on a case-by-case basis. The purpose of this RFA is to award up to 12 grants to the most successful applicants to provide the services delineated in this RFA. The total annual funding amount of $3,600,000.00 will be divided across up to 12 grants, with a limit of one grant per awardee each State fiscal year until the end of the grant period as follows: October 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025, funding is $2,700,000. July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, funding is $3,600,000. July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027, funding is $3,600,000. If fewer than 12 grants are awarded, funding may be distributed across awarded grants. The DOR will not award more than one grant per county except for Los Angeles County, which will be awarded up to two grants.
