The City of Chicago is issuing this Request for Proposal (RFP) to identify qualified organizations to administer a Personal Assistance Program that provides essential support services to individuals with disabilities. This program is designed to help residents who require assistance with daily living activities and lack sufficient personal assistance support to maintain their independence and remain in their homes and communities. The selected provider will be responsible for coordinating and delivering personalized support tailored to the unique needs of each participant. The Personal Assistance Program will offer a range of services, including, but not limited to personal care, mobility assistance, household tasks, and support accessing a wide range of accessibility and community resources. The selected provider will have to incorporate person-centered care and maintain an in-depth level of understanding of the disability community. The selected provider will be expected to recruit, train, and manage a network of qualified personal assistants who can deliver high-quality, reliable support, while upholding the dignity and autonomy of people with disabilities.
