The Department of Human Services (DHS), on behalf of Allegheny County, requested Proposals to design, launch and coordinate a countywide pre-citation and pre-arrest diversion initiative (henceforth referred to as the Initiative). Ultimately, the Initiative was intended to reduce the number of racial disparities seen in juvenile justice referrals and advance a culture of restorative justice within schools and communities by offering an alternative to citation and arrest through a diversion referral. A diversion referral provides school staff, community law enforcement and other stakeholders with an alternative to citation and arrest in which youth can receive needed services.
We received 11 proposals. We invited 5 proposers to oral presentations.
