SLED Opportunity · MARYLAND · MARYLAND
AI Summary
Maryland's Department of Juvenile Services seeks proposals to create a staff-secure, therapeutic out-of-home program for girls and gender-expansive youth, replacing the current secure commitment program.
The Department supervises most youth who are involved in the juvenile justice system in the community. In some situations, juvenile courts may commit a youth to DJS and order that the young person receive out-of-home placement. Currently, girls and gender-expansive young people make up a very small proportion of the DJS youth population. After launching a workgroup to analyze these cases, consulting with expert technical assistance providers, and doing research into national best practices, the Department seeks to create a program that is staff-secure and therapeutic with a home-like environment for girls and gender-expansive young people. The program shall replace the current hardware secure commitment program that DJS operates for girls.
SLED stands for State, Local, and Education. These are solicitations issued by state governments, counties, cities, school districts, utilities, and higher education institutions — as opposed to federal agencies.
