RFP-031-15 - Employment First Program

Summary of Specifications:
The Douglas County Department of Human Services (Department) provides various public assistance benefits including Food Assistance or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Previously, Douglas County had been exempt from the Employment First component of the SNAP program. The Department respectfully requests proposals from responsible and qualified entities for the development and execution of an Employment First program. Since this is the Department’s initial set-up, we require a vendor to work closely with our staff to develop the various processes and manage all aspects of the ongoing client-related and employer-related work. At this time the size of the Employment First caseload is unknown, but we estimate it will be 300-400. 

The Employment First regulations are set forth in 10 CCR 2505-1, Rule Manual Volume 4B. To access the most current rules, please refer to this section which can be found at http://www.sos.state.co.us.
