Youth Healing and Treatment Home Solicitation

Ramsey County is seeking to partner with an organization to open a home to provide healing and treatment services for youth, as ordered by a juvenile court judge. This home-like residential placement will provide culturally specific, community-based treatment and programs for up to six youth at a time, in a Department of Human Services licensed home. Support offered through this placement option is intended to meet the mental health, chemical-behavioral, and physical health needs of youth, as well as provide appropriate wrap-around services, on an individual basis.

The request for proposals seeks to identify community-based providers that are able and interested to provide these services, with an initial contract period through June 30, 2026, available funding up to $2 million, and a goal of opening the healing and treatment home by the end of 2025.

Key areas of interest of Ramsey County for this partnership include contractor qualifications and background, holistic healing, treatment, and programming provided, family and community engagement strategies, and planning for opening and operations for home.

Additional background information is available on the program web page.
