Community Rehabilitation Programs (CRP/IL) Qualifications

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:

Independent Living Contractors must provide a current resume and educational transcripts for each staff person seeking to provide IL services under the DVR CRP/IL contract. Please see DSHS form 11-165 for information on specific IL qualifications.
