Peer-based Syringe Removal Team
The Boston Public Health Commission (BPHC) is the local public health department for the City of Boston. BPHC’s mission is to work in partnership with communities to protect and promote the health and well-being of all Boston residents, especially those impacted by racism and systemic inequities. The Bureau of Recovery Services (BRS) works with partners from across government and communities to address substance use disorder and the needs of people who use drugs. Through outreach, engagement, advocacy, referrals, harm reduction, and recovery services, BRS helps people access the support they need.
BPHC BRS is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) to identify qualified individuals or organizations with expertise in operating employment and cleaning services, syringe disposal, and peer-based programming for people who use drugs (PWUD). The chosen vendor will run a program that provides a low-barrier work opportunity for PWUD, removing syringes and used harm reduction supplies from Boston streets, while at the same time offering program participants job training and skills building. Additionally, the program will connect participants to life-saving social services like medicine for opioid use disorder and housing.
Note: the proposal submission deadline has been extended.
