LEONARDTOWN, MD (September 21, 2022) – The St. Mary’s County Health Department’s (SMCHD) Behavioral Health Division is issuing a solicitation to procure a provider for the Recovery Housing for Pregnant Women and Women with Children Program (RHPWWC). RHPWWC provides a safe, stable, and supportive environment for women who are in early recovery from a substance use disorder and have at least one child in their custody; pregnant women may also qualify. This temporary living arrangement offers residents a secure atmosphere to rebuild their lives while developing the necessary skills to embark on a life of recovery. The preferred location of the housing is St. Mary’s County; however, housing locations in Southern Charles or Southern Calvert County will be considered.
This request for proposals is designed to provide recovery housing in the community to support pregnant women and women with children in early recovery from substance use and/or co-occurring disorders. Specifically for women and children, recovery housing is crucial in safe-guarding the family nucleus. Families are able to reside in a safe environment that is conducive to one’s recovery as well as the safety of the child(ren) while still being able to work towards achieving fully independent living.
The deadline for submission of proposals is October 26, 2022. For more information, or to submit a proposal for this request, please visit smchd.org/rfp
