DMCPS Assessment Center Program

Overview:

The Assessment Center Program is a congregate care placement type licensed by DCF for children, in out-of-home care under the care and supervision of DMCPS. The program will provide short-term out-of-home care placement for children with placements lasting less than 60 days. The goal of the program is to assess children’s needs and strengths and to provide children with stabilization services and limited after-care services in a placement setting while a long-term placement is located. 

The Assessment Center Program is one component of the out-of-home care placement continuum and provides short-term placement to children who are entering out-of-home care or have disrupted from their out-of-home placement. The Contractor must be able to accept referrals and same-day placement 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including legal holidays and weekends.

Contracts tentatively anticipated to begin 1/1/2025.
