The State of Connecticut, Department of Developmental Services (DDS) is seeking proposals from DDS providers qualified to provide CRS and/or CLA supports to develop, operate, supervise and manage the administrative duties of a 3-bed transitional housing program for individuals over the age of 18 who have been diagnosed with intellectual disabilities, co-occurring mental health issues, and have experienced involvement with the criminal justice system. This facility could also be used as an interim step for individuals being discharged from a locked forensic unit. Based on capacity, admission could be expanded to serve individuals who are discharged from incarceration, involved with probation and parole, homeless or anticipate homelessness, have an unsuccessful residential placement, have probate involuntary placement, have loss of caregiver due to death, illness or other loss (eviction, foreclosure), unnecessary emergency admission, or unnecessary hospitalization.
