RFP-DCP-06-24 - Non-Secure Detention Services

Dutchess County is required to take reasonable steps to provide conveniently accessible and adequate NonSecure Detention services (NSD) and care. The Department of Community and Family Services (DC DCFS) is
the Dutchess County department responsible for the administration of juvenile detention services for eligible
youth residing within Dutchess County. DC DCFS requires the services of a Contractor to provide these
services and may contract with qualified public or non-profit youth caring agencies to operate NSD facilities,
pursuant to applicable statutes and regulations, and upon certification by New York State (NYS) Office of
Children and Family Services (OCFS).
To build on our Dutchess County tradition of excellence, the County Executive through the DCFS is seeking
successful, best-practice, cost-effective Non-Secure Detention (NSD) services. These services consist of shortterm supportive residential care for juveniles awaiting court processing in accordance with provisions of the
NYS Family Court Act and regulations of the NYS OCFS. Only non-profit 501(c)(3) entities are eligible for award of contract(s) resulting from this
RFP.
