NLACRC is seeking proposal submissions for the operator of one (1) Enhanced Behavioral Supports Home (EBSH) with delayed egress for male/female children with intellectual disabilities and/or severe behavioral needs. The applicant selected will serve children (per Title 22, Section 84001(c)(2)(A)(B)) with complex behavior support needs and/or psychiatric comorbidities with an age-appropriate peer group in an EBSH setting owned by a pre-selected Housing Development Organization (HDO). All interested applicants must have demonstrable experience supporting children with developmental disabilities and have a physical business office located within NLACRC’s catchment area. The purpose of EBSHs is to reduce the institutionalization of people with developmental disabilities and prevent the dislocation of these same individuals from their home communities. EBSH homes are designed to (i) provide intensive behavioral services and supports to adults or children with developmental disabilities; (ii) provide complex behavioral support needs and/or intensive services and supports needs; and (iii) serve consumers who are at risk of institutionalization or out-of-state placement, or are transitioning to the community from a developmental center, other state–operated residential facility, institution for mental disease, or out-of-state placement
