Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs (CYSHCN) Respite Services

The Mississippi State Department of Health, Office of Child and Adolescent Health, is seeking applications for service providers to provide respite care service for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs (CYSHCN) and their families. These services are intended to provide temporary relief to caregivers while promoting family stability, caregiver well-being, and improved health outcomes for CYSHCN. Applicants must deliver family-centered, culturally responsive, and community-based services that align with Mississippi’s Title V priorities and National Performance Measure 11 (care coordination), with a strong emphasis on reaching rural and underserved populations. Selected providers will be expected to coordinate with the MSDH CYSHCN Program and community partners, ensure compliance with state requirements, and track service utilization, outcomes, and caregiver satisfaction to support accountability and continuous quality improvement.
