RFP for Two Long-Term Structured Residences (LTSR)

Allegheny County, through its Department of Human Services (DHS), is seeking Proposals from qualified Proposers to establish and operate two licensed Long-Term Structured Residences (LTSRs)

An LTSR is a highly structured and therapeutic residential mental health treatment facility designed to enhance an individual’s functioning while stabilizing the psychiatric symptoms that originally led to the need for acute care. These facilities are intended for adults who qualify for hospitalization but who can receive adequate care in a community-based LTSR setting.

This solicitation seeks the establishment of two LTSRs, one each for two target populations, henceforth referred to as the LTSR for Target Population A and the LTSR for Target Population B. Both populations have serious mental illnesses (SMI), forensic risks or involvement, and unique functional impairments related to serious mental illnesses and/or neurodevelopmental disorders; Target Population B may also have a diagnosis of Intellectual Disability (ID) and/or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
