REQUEST for PROPOSALS

 

 

The Cortland County Community Services Board is issuing a RFP for the operation of the mental health case management program for adults and children in Cortland County.

 

Background.

 

Over the years, Cortland County has added case management to the array of services available to the residents of the county.  Case management is a valuable and necessary component that assists individuals with high needs and their families with recovery.  The Cortland County case management program presently consists of:

·        Adult services

o       2 Intensive Case Managers (County)

o       1 Supportive Case Managers (Catholic Charities)

o       2 Community Support Case Managers (Catholic Charities)

o       2 Peer Support Case Managers (Catholic Charities)

·        Children and Youth services

o       3 Intensive Case Managers (County)

 

The Community Services Board reviewed the present system and has determined that a consolidated case management program would have significant programmatic and fiscal advantages over the present system.  The Board is looking for proposals that would minimally maintain the present level of services and be open to expanding and/or improving the services.

 

Note:  Family Counseling Services provides a MICA case management service as an additional outpatient clinic service.  As such, this service is only available to individuals served in the agency’s outpatient clinic and is provided by subcontract by Catholic Charities.  The Community Services Board has identified the need for a MICA intensive case manager to meet the needs of an underserved population.
