Specifications include, but are not limited to: The purpose of this request for proposal is to select an offeror to support the program areas and eligibilities set forth by the John H. Chafee Foster Care Program for Successful Transition to Adulthood (SEC. 477. [42 U.S.C. 677]). The South Dakota Independent Living Program will oversee this program, known as the Community Resource People Program (CRP Program). The CRP Program will provide support to youth who have experienced foster care at age 14 or older in their transition to adulthood through transitional services such as assistance in obtaining a high school diploma and post-secondary education, career exploration, vocational training, job placement and retention, training and opportunities to practice daily living skills (such as financial literacy training and driving instruction), substance abuse prevention, and preventive health activities (including smoking avoidance, nutrition education, and pregnancy prevention). The CRP Program will help children who have experienced foster care at age 14 or older achieve meaningful, permanent connections with a caring adult and help the children engage in age or developmentally appropriate activities, positive youth development, and experiential learning that reflects what their peers in intact families experience. The CRP Program will provide case management services for youth between 18 and 21 years of age to complement their own efforts to achieve self-sufficiency and to assure that program participants recognize and accept their personal responsibility for preparing for and then making the transition from adolescence to adulthood. The CRP Program will assist in collection of data for the National Youth in Transition Database, remaining in contact with youth until age 21. The CRP Program will assist in the Educational and Training Voucher Program, supporting participating youth up to the age 26 or as eligibility allows. The services will be provided in the seven (7) Division of Child Protection Services’ Regions that cover South Dakota’s 66 counties.
