Statement of WorkProgram PurposeIn accordance with the requirements of the Family Code §265.002, the DFPS Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) Division provides services for children in at-risk situations and for the families of those children. PEI contracts for programs with the goal of providing early intervention or prevention of at-risk behavior that leads to child abuse or neglect, delinquency, running away, and truancy. PEI consolidates prevention and early intervention services within the jurisdiction of a single agency in order to avoid fragmentation and duplication of services, and to increase the accountability for the delivery and administration of these services. HHSC on behalf of the DFPS Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) Division is soliciting Applications from Applicants that can conduct home assessments, create family service plans and provide short term in-home parenting education using Evidence Based or Promising Practice Programs that are proven to be effective in increasing protective factors for families of children zero (0) to five (5) years old who are identified as at-risk for child abuse and neglect. Need for ServiceFamilies who have a history of parental rights termination of one or more children due to abuse or neglect or who have had a child die due to abuse or neglect are at a high risk for recidivism for child abuse and neglect. This program is designed to provide services to those families who have this history, and who have recently had a new birth. Services can be provided for families with children from birth to age two (2). In addition, this program may serve foster youth (current and former) who are pregnant, who have recently given birth and are parenting a child up to two (2) years old. This includes teen fathers who are foster youth (current and former). The families must participate on a voluntary basis. DFPS seeks to Contract with qualified Providers to assist DFPS’s PEI Division in achieving program purpose and objectives by providing Family intervention and prevention services. DFPS does not guarantee any minimum level of utilization or specific number of Referrals. The final decision for use, partial use, and non-use of these services lies within the authority of DFPS.
