Description

The Iowa Department of Human Services (DHS) Bureau of Refugee Services (BRS) is soliciting proposals to identify contractors to provide a continuum of services to Iowa’s Refugees in the form of individual programs or unique services. A result of implementation of these services may be the successful integration of Refugees and their families into their new communities. The continuum of services will include Community Integration Services, Older Refugee Supports, Youth Services and Supports, and Startup Services.

This procurement is intended to purchase services in alignment with the goals identified by the federal Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) as follows:

•        Advancing racial equity and support for underserved communities.
•        Practicing inclusion through purposeful collaboration and engagement with ethnic communities to inform service design and delivery.
•        Delivering programming that fully meets the needs of population through innovation, ingenuity, outreach, and partnerships.
