Morris County is seeking proposals for recovery housing services for individuals with substance use disorders. The provider must be located within Morris County and capable of initiating the program within 30 days of award. Services include providing a stable environment, assessing needs, linking individuals to social services and workforce development training, and offering 24-hour onsite availability. The contract period is from October 1, 2025, to September 29, 2026.

Payment will be made after a properly executed County of Morris voucher has been received and formally approved on the voucher list by the Board of County Commissioners at its subsequent regular meeting. Vouchers submitted after the first of the month may not be paid until the subsequent payment cycle.
The county will place considerable weight on the qualifications of the agency and project team members, expertise and a successful track record, expertise and training of employees, detailed established charges that are comprehensive and reasonable, and the demonstrated understanding of the project, innovative suggestions, and strategies identified to implement the project. The provider's experience with the Morris County community needs, including the length of time the agency has worked in Morris County and successful projects implemented, will also be heavily considered.
