Story Behind the Curve
This was a new program for FY19. Approval was received at the beginning of November 2018 to move forward with the Reengagement Center. There was a delay in advertising the Request for Proposals (RFP) due to a backlog of RFP’s currently in the county’s Purchasing Department. The RFP was released on February 7, 2019 with a submission deadline of March 7th. In May 2019 the contract was awarded and the program was able to start up.
FY20 will be the first full year of data.
