The State of California Department of Social Services is issuing a Request for Information to gather industry input on procuring a Third Party Administrator to support the Wraparound Immediate Needs Program under the Tiered Rate Structure for foster care services. The selected administrator would serve as a fiscal intermediary responsible for managing funds, tracking finances, reconciling, and disbursing Immediate Needs funding across counties and behavioral health systems. The program aims to improve timely access to services for youth in foster care, particularly those with complex behavioral health needs, while reducing administrative burden on county agencies. Key responsibilities include managing financial systems, administering flexible funding, providing reporting dashboards, and supporting coordination across multiple agencies. The RFI also seeks recommendations on operational processes, cost structures, and best practices for statewide implementation, including cross-county coordination and service delivery improvements. This effort is part of a broader initiative to create a more equitable, data-driven, and youth-centered foster care system in California.
