REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) 12903

PROBATION DEPARTMENT

LESS RESTRICTIVE PROGRAMMING FOR JUSTICE-INVOLVED YOUTH

The County of San Diego (County) is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) to seek input from all interested parties,

agencies, and stakeholders regarding Less Restrictive Programming for Justice-Involved Youth. The goal of the RFI is to

obtain feedback regarding community-based, less restrictive programs that provide housing and supportive services for

justice-involved youth.

The County’s Probation Department (Probation) facilitates a variety of services for justice-involved youth such as

transitional housing and navigation, and behavioral health. Probation is seeking to determine the availability of community-

based housing programs that can provide structured supervision and supportive services for youth who will complete their

custodial program in a less restrictive environment. The focus population is currently committed to a Secure Youth

Treatment Facility in accordance with California Welfare and Institutions Code § 875, and the County is seeking information

on programs that allow the youth to complete their baseline terms under less restrictive conditions. The goal of this

programming is to reintegrate youth from a custodial setting back into the community through access to employment,

resource support services, and pro-social activities that build independence and resilience.

This RFI seeks information and feedback from organizations capable of providing less restrictive programming for youth

currently residing in a detention facility, with the following goals:

• Facilitate gradual youth transitions from an institutional setting back into the community.

• Encourage familial and support system engagement to foster resiliency.

• Coordinate participation in activities that contribute to the development of pro-social skills and the health,

happiness, and wellbeing of youth (e.g. sports, recreation, art).

• Help build a network of supportive resources and providers to enable youth independence.

This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes – it does not constitute a solicitation/Request for

Proposal/etc. or a promise to issue a solicitation in the future. This request for information does not commit the County to

contract for any supply or service whatsoever. Respondents are advised that the County will not pay for any information or

administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI; all costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the

interested party’s expense. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future solicitations. It is the

responsibility of the potential respondents to monitor this request for additional information pertaining to this requirement.

The County reserves the right to use, without restriction, any information provided in response to this RFI. Please note that

all information provided in response to this RFI may be subject to disclosure under the California Public Records Act.
