Wisconsin’s Department of Children and Families is seeking proposals for child welfare case management services for children and families in Milwaukee County. The work covers in-home and out-of-home case management, safety and permanency planning, coordinated services, court participation, foster-care recruitment and licensing, adoption and guardianship support, and reporting and evaluation. New providers must complete a three-month staffing, training, policy, and service-capacity transition before services begin in 2028, and the state anticipates at least two and up to three contract awards.
The Wisconsin Department of Children and Families seeks a contractor to manage the Statewide Domestic Violence Prevention Program Initiative, including a statewide media campaign and efforts supporting local primary-prevention organizations. The work also supports youth voice and leadership, dating-violence prevention, healthy relationships, and capacity-building for local victim-service providers, schools, and youth organizations. The RFP is intended to award one contract, and the listed solicitation remains available for responses through January 7, 2027.
