RFP-DCP-75-23 - UNIVERSAL COMMUNITY ACCESS PROGRAM

The County is seeking proposals from local agencies or organizations to develop, or continue,
the Universal Community Access Program and to provide related education and consultation
(training) for local businesses, organizations, municipalities, and/or other entities identified at the
County’s request. The training and outreach is intended to build advocacy, awareness,
acceptance, and inclusion for people with autism and/or other developmental disabilities that
instill the Dutchess County’s “ThinkDIFFERENTLY” principles. DCDBCH intends to
contract with a single vendor who have or will develop a network of business and community
partners who are willing to cooperate with and collaborate with other local and State businesses
and are providers of services that adopt and sustain the “ThinkDIFFERENTLY” principles.
