Opportunities open for 18 counties in North Carolina including Warren

Trillium Health Resources has published a request for information (RFI) on their website for school-based therapy services.

These clinicians will offer outpatient therapy for children experiencing mental health issues, intellectual or developmental disabilities, or substance use disorders in each designated school district. They will provide assessments, group and individual therapy, and family supports. Services will be provided to Medicaid members (in NC Medicaid Direct or the Trillium Tailored Plan launching July 1) in Trillium.

Interested agencies will have until June 30, 2024 to respond to the RFI. Agencies must be available to offer services in at least one of the following counties: Guilford, Randolph, Montgomery, Moore, Lee, Hoke, Richmond, Anson, Scotland, Robeson, Sampson, Duplin, Wayne, Lenoir, Greene, Wilson, Edgecombe, and Warren. Providers may apply to provide services in one or more of the counties listed above, but no other counties than those listed are covered with this RFI.

“Trillium recognizes the value of placing clinicians in schools—their proximity to the children allows for more immediate treatment and contact with teachers and families,” stated Joy Futrell, Trillium’s Chief Executive Officer. “Trillium has been listening to stakeholders in our new counties and understands the needs of the schools in our region to support this critical gap.”

School-based mental health services range from assistance provided by a school counselor to a comprehensive, integrated program of prevention, identification, and treatment on campus. Trillium’s focus with this RFI is to build a strong infrastructure to develop a more comprehensive approach within school settings.

Trillium welcomes participation in this important conversation to keep our communities and schools safe. Any organization interested in learning more can reach out to Trillium by calling 1-866-998-2597.

Warren County Government is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) from local non-profit and faith-based organizations to provide local community support services for those residents in need of temporary or emergency assistance due to housing instability or homelessness.

Since there is not currently a permanent facility in the county offering sheltering services and other supports, this Housing Instability Small Grants Pilot Program will allow local organizations to provide some basic services to help those that are in need. Warren County grant funds through Eastpointe LME/MCO will be used to offer some additional support services to combat housing instability or homelessness.

The following entities may submit a proposal for consideration:
Well-established community & faith-based organizations defined as being in operation for a minimum of three (3) years and qualifying for exemption under Section 501(c)(3), 501(c)(4), or 501(c)(6) of the IRS code.
Partnerships with local churches, non-profits or other community-based organizations are encouraged. Such collaborations shall be given high priority for funding.

The timeline for the Request for Proposals is as follows:
October 24, 2022: Opening date to receive requests
October 31, 2022: Deadline to submit questions
November 18, 2022: Deadline to submit proposals by 5:00 pm
November 28, 2022: Funds awarded for approved requests

The RFP packet will be released on October 24th and can be retrieved online at www.warrencountync.com or picked up from the Warren County Government Administrative Office located at 602 W. Ridgeway Street, Warrenton, NC 27589. Clarification questions may be submitted via email to PaulaPulley@warrencountync.gov.
