Community Rehabilitation Programs (CRP/IL)

DVR may purchase vocational services from Community Rehabilitation Programs, CRPs, through Client Service contracts to provide rehabilitation services to maximize our customers’ ability to seek and maintain employment. The CRP contracts typically begin July 1 for a two-year term ending June 30.

CRP Client Service contracts are uniformly defined statewide and include:

Services
Expected outcomes of services
Outcome based fee payments

Potential Contractors are required to complete a Request for Qualifications - RFQ to receive a DVR CRP contract. The RFQ indicates the requirements a Contractor must meet to be granted a contract.

Potential contractors who have never had a DVR CRP contract are granted a two-year period to meet additional requirements for subsequent CRP contracts. Depending on the contracted service(s) additional requirements may include:

CVE certification
CRC certification
CARF
RSAS

The Contractor’s current direct client service providers and program staff shall complete all 13 courses within 12 months of the contract start date, if they have not previously taken it; and
Newly hired employees are required to complete all 13 courses within 90 days of the employee’s hire date
