Behavioral Health Peer Services

Pierce County seeks proposals from peer-run organizations to deliver peer-led behavioral support services that are not reimbursable under Medicaid or private insurance. All services must be designed and implemented by individuals with lived experience, in alignment with the values of recovery, empowerment, and person-centered care. Proposers must be either a Behavioral Health Agency (BHA) providing Peer services or a faith-based organization providing peer services, or a community agency employing behavioral health peers who will provide services under this proposal. If your project is not providing peer services, please go to the Outpatient and Community-Based Services, Services for Justice-Involved Adults, Shelter and Housing Support Services, Wellness, Prevention, and Early Intervention, and/or Youth and School-Based Services RFPs, as applicable. Please see the Solicitations and Competitive Bids page. This procurement is aligned with Pierce County’s Behavioral Health Improvement Plan (BHIP), the Pierce County Council's Behavioral Heath Focus Areas, and the County's 2026-2027 behavioral health funding priorities. All agencies may apply for funding through the Pierce County BHTC Tax program. Proposed projects that serve more than one geographic area of the county will be given priority. Projects located in the City of Tacoma and serving only Tacoma residents must receive City of Tacoma funding.
