Pierce County seeks proposals from qualified organizations to deliver behavioral health services to individuals who are justice system-involved and not eligible for Medicaid-funded services. The goal is to increase access to behavioral health services at any stage of the Sequential Intercept Model (SIM) and services should not be reimbursable under Medicaid or private insurance. Services must prioritize coordinated, timely, and effective behavioral health treatment and supports for individuals who are transitioning from incarceration, under community supervision, or otherwise involved with the justice system. Pierce County intends to fund programs that divert individuals from jail or emergency departments, reduce recidivism, and promote long-term stability in the community.
