I. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The mission of the New York State Unified Court System (UCS) is to deliver equal justice under the law
and to achieve the just, fair and timely resolution of all matters that come before our courts. In the
service of our mission, the UCS is committed to operating with integrity and transparency, and to
ensuring that all who enter or serve in our courts are treated with respect, dignity, and professionalism.
We affirm our responsibility to promote a court system free from any and all forms of bias and
discrimination and to promote a judiciary and workforce that reflect the rich diversity of New York
State. More information about the UCS is available at https://www.nycourts.gov.
The UCS Office of Court Administration’s (OCA) Division of Professional and Court Services (DPCS)
is soliciting proposals via this RFP for the purpose of providing mental health services to the Rochester
Surviving and Finding Empowerment (SAFE) Court.
UCS operates Human Trafficking Intervention Courts (HTIC) throughout the state. The HTICs connect
criminal defendants who are victims of trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation with services and
treatment in the community. HTIC participants are generally charged with a prostitution-related offense
or have prior arrests/convictions for a prostitution-related offense. The HTICs work collaboratively with
a team of trauma informed social service and treatment professionals in the local community that link
participants to crucial services and treatment based on their individual needs. Coordination of participant
court appearances and service/treatment appointments requires a specialized combination of expertise
with the criminal justice, substance and mental health treatment, and social services communities.
II. PROJECT INFORMATION
UCS is the recipient of an award (the “Grant Award”) by the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of
Justice Assistance (BJA) (the “Grantor”) for the purpose of funding the Rochester SAFE Court in
Monroe County, New York (the “Project”). Pursuant to the terms of the Grant Award, $434,057 is the
maximum available funding for Project Services (as set forth in Article V below) performed during May
1, 2024 – September 30, 2026, provided, however, that such period may be extended upon mutual
agreement of Grantor and UCS (the “Project Term”). UCS reserves the right to request a no-cost
extension of the Project Term from the Grantor.
Funding for any contract resulting from this RFP is contingent upon New York State’s receipt of federal
grant funding for activities covered by this RFP
UCS anticipates that the selected applicant will be designated a “subrecipient” rather than a “contractor”
for purposes of federal requirements of the Grant Award.
