Project Description

RFP - HHS - 2026 - 08 - EARLY INTERVENTION FOR YOUTH: Early Childhood and School Age Behavioral HealthGeneral information

• Department: Health and Human Services
• Category: Professional Services
• Project description:

  The County of Marin is seeking proposals from qualified agencies to provide Early Intervention Behavioral Health services for children and youth ages 0–18 across Marin County. Six projects are available, organized by age group (Early Childhood 0–5 and School-Age 5–18) and geographic region, with funding ranging from $200,000 to $300,000 per project. Contracts are planned to begin July 1, 2026, for an initial 12-month term, with the possibility of annual renewals for up to four additional years. Awards may be made to one or multiple providers, and funding amounts reflect maximum available allocations.
  
  Funded programs must align with the Behavioral Health Services Act (BHSA) Early Intervention framework and focus on outreach, access and linkage to care, and early treatment services and supports. Services must prioritize BHSA-eligible and high-need populations, including children and youth impacted by trauma, homelessness, justice or child welfare involvement, disparities in behavioral health access, and other risk factors. Programs are expected to use evidence-based or community-defined evidence-based practices, provide culturally responsive and linguistically appropriate services, and collaborate across systems of care to prevent escalation of behavioral health concerns and reduce disparities.
  
  Contractors will be required to track and report performance data, including service levels, demographic information, satisfaction and outcomes data, and annual results. Proposers are encouraged to identify measurable performance indicators using a Results-Based Accountability framework of How Much, How Well, and Is Anyone Better Off? Programs must support countywide goals of improving access, advancing equity, strengthening the behavioral health workforce, and reducing adverse outcomes such as suicide, school failure, homelessness, and system involvement.
