3 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND PURPOSE OF THE REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) The Idaho Office for Refugees, a program of Jannus, Inc., a 501(c)(3) organization, awards contracts to organizations and individuals for the provision of services that promote the economic self-sufficiency and social integration of refugees residing in the State of Idaho. The Idaho Office for Refugees intends to award federal funds from DHHS/ACF/Office of Refugee Resettlement to a qualified organization for professional services and operational support for Career Pathway Navigators: Anti-Poverty Strategies for New Americans. The primary purpose of this Request for Proposal is to identify and fund the most qualified bidder to establish a new structure and process for addressing the selfsufficiency needs of refugees who have gone through the initial resettlement system in Idaho, yet continue to struggle because of under-employment, low wages and undeveloped potential to generate the income needed to move out of poverty and into the mainstream of economic participation. The Career Pathway Navigators project will create new opportunities for low-income refugees, setting them on a path toward earning a living wage. The principal objectives proposed for the Career Pathway Navigators project include the following: 1) Increase successful employment and employment upgrades among refugees who are not making progress toward earning a living wage, targeting women and youth; 2) Increase wages and employment for refugees whose careers have been interrupted by forced migration; and 3) Increase training opportunities for refugees to acquire higher levels of English proficiency. The Career Pathway Navigators project supports the mission of the Idaho Office for Refugees, which is to promote mutual understanding between refugees and the larger community by encouraging social interaction and developing opportunities for refugees to participate in all aspects of community life. DESCRIPTION OF AWARDING ORGANIZATION The Idaho Office for Refugees (IOR) has statewide responsibility for the provision of assistance and services to refugees. Under agreement with the federal Office of Refugee Resettlement, the IOR endeavors to ease the difficult transition that refugees face as 3
4 they adjust to life in the United States. Our national commitment to offer refuge and safe haven to persecuted people informs and guides the work of the IOR and its local service partners. Refugees arrive in Idaho from many areas of the world, forced to flee their native lands because of the persecution they have endured due to their beliefs, opinions or ethnic heritage. Once newly arriving refugees have been resettled, the IOR provides assistance and services designed to help these new Americans become integrated into their communities as productive, contributing members of society. The IOR supports, through contracts and cooperative agreements, the provision of interim financial assistance, English language training, employment services, case management and social adjustment services in the communities where refugees are resettled. The administrative responsibilities of the IOR include program development and evaluation, policy development, allocation of funds to best meet refugee needs throughout the state, fiscal oversight and monitoring of programs. Jannus, Inc. has a 40 year history in Boise and the State of Idaho, serving individuals and families to promote positive change in their lives. Jannus administers over twenty programs in the areas of Community Health, Public Policy and Economic Opportunity and has an annual budget of approximately $15 million. PROJECT DESCRIPTION PROJECT OVERVIEW Despite a growing economy in Idaho, refugees arriving in Boise and Twin Falls are often at a competitive disadvantage when trying to enter or move up in the U.S. job market. They earn, on average, half the salary of other Idaho workers. Barriers to living wage employment include limited English proficiency, lack of transferable job skills, and limited understanding of how to access mainstream employment services especially for individuals with limited English. Refugees are often unfamiliar with the American workforce expectation of marketing their work history, educational attainment and skills to match local labor market demands; and those with medical conditions and histories of trauma face even more challenges to finding successful employment during the first twelve months of resettlement. These significant challenges, combined with growing levels of global migration, underscore the need for new approaches over an extended period of economic integration. Financial independence for refugees, especially youth, women with no previous work experience and skilled professionals, can be catalyzed by strategically tiered job services and targeted job development strategies that set jobseekers on a career pathway to upward mobility. The IOR has tested an array of employment related 4
5 case management strategies along with individualized career pathway plans with a high degree of success through Global Talent Idaho (GTI). GTI has utilized the Upwardly Global curriculum and customized its implementation to include employment related case management, internships and training. The Career Pathway Navigators project in Boise and Twin Falls the two refugee resettlement communities in Idaho will adopt best practices from GTI and other successful employability programs. It will deploy community-based employment related case management, enhance English language support and develop new career pathways to address the gaps in the current mainstream employment services while helping to break down barriers of access, lack of social capital and Made in America predisposition of U.S. employers. Mobile offices that are co-located with the Idaho Department of Labor, public libraries and other community partners will increase access, develop relationships and share knowledge across service providers to increase the capacity of mainstream job services to support refugees. The eligible population for this project includes refugees and other populations eligible for Office of Refugee Resettlement services who have been in the US between 12 months and 5 years. Successful bidder(s) will be required to document eligibility for all individuals served under this project. The target population is described in the objectives listed above. SCOPE OF WORK The IOR intends to award funds to the successful bidder(s) for the services described in the following Scope of Work during federal fiscal year The subaward may be extended beyond the first year, contingent upon satisfactory performance and the availability of funding to carry on the effort. The principal features of the Career Pathway Navigators project, as approved by the federal Office of Refugee Resettlement, include the following: Highly qualified Career Pathway Navigators based in Boise and Twin Falls. Mobile offices and flexible office hours in the evenings and on weekends, to include co-location where there is easy and comfortable access for refugees., i.e. public libraries, community centers, high schools, the English Language Center in Boise, churches and IDOL one-stop career centers.
