Title
AUTHORIZE COMPETITIVE SOLICITATIONS FOR SERVICES IN PROBATION FACILITIES AND THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO (DISTRICTS: ALL)
Body
OVERVIEW
The County of San Diego Probation Department (Probation) provides a comprehensive array of programs and services to Probation clients and their families throughout the County in Probation facilities and in the community. These services are delivered through County-operated programs, as well as through contracted services.
Today's actions request the County of San Diego Board of Supervisors to authorize competitive solicitations for contracts to continue providing youth-focused programs including family therapy, alternatives to detention, credible messenger mentoring, and food and healthcare services for Probation detention facilities.
