This RFP is specifically for services based in Sussex County, Delaware. The selected providers will operate group homes licensed by the State of Delaware's Division of Health Care Quality and obtain/maintain Medicaid certification, offering varying degrees of support for individuals with severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI) and significant substance use disorders (SUDs) requiring 24/7 care. The group homes will serve adults aged 18 and older who are residents of Delaware and meet specific clinical acuity criteria for Tiers 3, 4, and 5.
