The government authority in San Francisco, California is seeking vendors to provide comprehensive family and children adoption and permanency services. Proposed programs should address recruitment and intake processes, including a toll-free phone line offering services in both Spanish and English.

Vendors must conduct outreach to identify prospective adoptive parents, utilizing grassroots strategies, social media, and traditional media. The focus is on achieving, strengthening, and sustaining lifelong family and relational connections, especially for youth transitioning to adulthood. Services will prioritize a kin-first philosophy, emphasizing permanency with relatives, non-related extended family, and tribes.

Key activities include comprehensive discovery and review of files, records, and relational histories to identify potential permanent connections; connectedness mapping; and intentional engagement through phone calls, interviews, home visits, and family team meetings. Ongoing support is essential for sustaining permanent family relationships and ensuring long-term stability.
