Summary: A contract extension and increase request to authorize TASC to continue providing case management services while a new RFP is completed. The Circuit Court rejected the results of a previous RFP because of its decision that the court and the community would be better served by contracting with more than one community-based vendor. Program participants are offenders who are diverted from incarceration.
The Circuit Court's Specialty/Treatment Court Program operates a network of 19 courts in Chicago and across suburban Cook County which are dedicated to providing mental health treatment, veterans support, drug treatment and support to persons charged with felony prostitution. The program helps low level criminal defendants who suffer from an underlying mental health, social or substance abuse problem from becoming repeat offenders. The hallmark of the program is intensive judicial supervision and the delivery of treatment and services from community-based sources, such as TASC which has provided patient care management services to the Circuit Court's Specialty/Treatment Courts Program since 2010.
