Background
Klamath County Community Corrections is seeking to implement an evidence-based system of care offering gender responsive and victim services for justice-involved individuals (JIIs). The primary goals include enhancing community safety, reducing criminal activity, and assisting women and adult victim JIIs in maintaining a crime-free lifestyle. This Request for Proposal (RFP) aims to identify a qualified vendor who can provide these essential services.
