Request For Proposals (RFP) – Early Intervention

Program

I. INTRODUCTION:

Mariposa County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (BHRS) is seeking

proposals for the provision of an Early Intervention Program funded under the

Behavioral Health Services Act (BHSA).

The purpose of this Request for Proposal (RFP) is to solicit proposals from qualified

individuals or agencies to provide a Family Resource Center.

The work contracted under this RFP shall not exceed $175,000 annually. This program

is funded through the Behavioral Health Services Act under the Behavioral Health

Services and Supports (BHSS) component.

The term of the Agreement will be for a period of one year beginning on September 1,

2026 and ending on June 30, 2027.

II. BACKGROUND:

The Behavioral Health Services Act (BHSA), enacted in 2024 through Senate Bill 326

(Eggman), that provides funding to counties to expand and transform behavioral health

services for children, youth, adults, and older adults across California. BHSA builds

upon the foundation of the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) and strengthens

accountability, equity, and outcomes across the public behavioral health system.

Funded through a 1% tax on personal income over one million dollars, BHSA supports a

broad continuum of services, including early intervention, treatment, recovery supports,

and infrastructure development. Counties must focus on unserved, underserved, and

inappropriately served populations, with an emphasis on reducing disparities.

The goals of BHSA are to reduce homelessness, unnecessary institutionalization, and

justice involvement; increase access to services; promote recovery and resiliency;

address disparities; and ensure accountability in the use of public funds.

Services must target individuals with or at risk of a serious mental health condition and

substance use disorders, including those experiencing homelessness, at risk of

incarceration, or involved in the justice system.

Under BHSA, Early Intervention programs must be designed to prevent mental illnesses

and substance use disorders from becoming severe and disabling and to reduce

disparities in behavioral health.

2

Request For Proposals (RFP) – Early Intervention

Program

Early Intervention programs must ensure that at least 51% of individuals served are

BHSA-eligible individuals who are 25 years of age and younger, including transitional-

age youth. Services provided as part of Early Intervention Evidence Based Practices

(EBP) or Community-Defined Evidence Practices (CDEP) that support parents and

caregivers may count toward the 51% requirement, even if the child or youth is not

present, as long as the service is intended to benefit that child or youth.

• Have the goal of identifying individuals for access and linkage to services and

supports.

health and substance use disorder treatment services and supports, should an

individual wish to be connected to services.

responders, hospitals, inclusive of emergency departments, education, including
