Tuolumne County Probation Community-Based Behavioral Health, Substance Use Disorder Treatment, and Diversion Services

The County of Tuolumne, through its Probation Department, is seeking qualified community-based organizations to provide mental health services, substance use disorder treatment, diversion programming, and related supportive services for justice-involved individuals. This Request for Proposals (RFP) supports programs aligned with Proposition 47 (Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act), Cohort 5, which emphasizes community-based treatment, rehabilitation, and alternatives to incarceration for individuals with behavioral health needs. Services are targeted towards individuals eligible for court-ordered treatment pursuant to California Proposition 36 (Health and Safety Code section 11395). Proposition 47 Cohort 5 funding prioritizes evidence-informed, trauma-responsive, and culturally competent services delivered in the community to reduce recidivism and improve long-term outcomes. This includes the expansion or enhancement of treatment programs for individuals convicted of treatment-mandated felony offenses under Proposition 36, such as substance use disorder treatment, co-occurring mental health services, case management, and reentry support. Consistent with Proposition 47 requirements, a substantial portion of awarded funds will be directed to non-governmental, community-based organizations to ensure meaningful community engagement and service delivery. Through this RFP, the Probation Department seeks to establish one or more contracts with providers that can collaborate effectively with County partners, support diversion and reentry efforts, and serve eligible participants across multiple justice system pathways. The County encourages proposals that demonstrate strong partnerships, accountability, and the ability to deliver measurable outcomes that support public safety, rehabilitation, and community well-being.
