Youth Behavioral Health

The County is seeking proposals from organizations to provide behavioral health promotion, prevention, and early intervention services to youth aged 25 years or younger, aiming to strengthen social-emotional skills, reduce violence and substance use risk factors, and improve access to behavioral health care.

Eligible applicants are those who applied for but did not receive funding under the 2026-2027 Puget Sound Taxpayer Accountability Account (PSTAA), Youth Violence Prevention, or Behavioral Health and Therapeutic Court (BHTC) Tax RFPs. The County anticipates awarding funding to approximately ten (10) entities through this procurement, with no individual contract award exceeding $100,000 in BHTC Tax funds.

Total funding for the procurement is approximately $750,000. Contracts are anticipated to begin on or around January 1, 2027, and end on December 31, 2027. No renewals or extensions of the period of performance will be granted.
