Excerpts from the RFP:
Purpose
The purpose of this Request for Proposal (RFP) # FWBPEIS26040 is for the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services (Agency) to solicit applications from eligible Community-Based Volunteer Coalitions or Councils for the provision of services to prevent Child Maltreatment in Iowa to begin in State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2026. Funds for services are available under the Iowa Child Abuse Prevention Program (ICAPP). Eligible applicants must be community-based according to 235A.1 b., “funds for the programs shall be applied for and received by a community-based volunteer coalition or council.” An applicable Community-Based Volunteer Coalition or Council will obtain a letter of support from an Early Childhood Iowa (ECI) area board to indicate a mutual agreement to collaborate on community initiatives to reduce duplication and enhance service delivery. Funds for services are available under the Iowa Child Abuse Prevention Program (ICAPP). Service delivery model will align with Early Childhood Iowa geographical areas. See Attachment E ECI Map.
This procurement is intended to purchase services in alignment with the recommendations outlined in the Prevent Child Abuse (PCA) Iowa Child Maltreatment Needs Assessment (Attachment F) The partnership between Prevent Child Abuse (PCA) Iowa and the Agency, founded in the needs assessment, has resulted in more focused efforts to combat child abuse, and strengthen families through Evidence-Based practices in high-need areas of the state. The focus on seven primary goals resulting from historical planning remains. Those primary goals are:-
Reduce maltreatment by targeting services to families exhibiting risk factors that are most closely correlated with child abuse and neglect.
-
Coordinate maltreatment prevention funding sources across multiple service sectors (e.g. public health, early childhood, human services) to use each source strategically in combatting child abuse and neglect.
-
Balance funding between Primary and Secondary Prevention with a greater emphasis on reaching more vulnerable families.
-
Embed practices that support cultural equity in prevention.
-
Increase the use of informal and non-stigmatizing supports for families and youth.
-
Increase the use of Evidence-Based Practices (EBPS) in child maltreatment while introducing and evaluating innovative approaches; and
-
Engage in a statewide evaluation of prevention services’ effectiveness, monitoring protective and risk factors at the organization and community level.
