The State of Nebraska (State), Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Children and Family Services (CFS) Division is issuing this Request for Information RFI Warmline for the purpose of gathering information to implement a third-party Warmline service to prevent unnecessary child welfare involvement. A. PURPOSE The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Division of Children and Family Services (CFS) is seeking information about how a third-party statewide single access point could be implemented via a “Warmline” to strengthen Nebraska families by safely reducing the need for intervention and system involvement. The desired outcome is to prevent unnecessary child welfare involvement by strengthening families, communities and cultural groups through early intervention and supportive resources to reduce trauma to families. The Division of Children and Family Services (CFS) intends to expand accessible services and programs to support families outside of formal CFS involvement while focusing on prevention; this will include enhancing all categories within the continuum of prevention and intentional efforts to address disparities in race, class, and geographic access. DHHS is focused on providing the right services at the right time to the right families and to preventing unnecessary system entry. The establishment of a third-party Warmline means that CFS can maintain its focus on core child protection duties while the Warmline addresses upstream activities that can prevent child welfare involvement altogether. Potential contracting for the Warmline allows for a more effective and trusted service, ultimately leading to better outcomes for families and the child welfare system.
