Crittenton Center is taking important steps to enhance our Transitional Therapeutic Home—an emergency shelter serving children and youth in need of immediate safety, stability, and support. With funding awarded to Woodbury County through the Iowa Economic Development Authority (IEDA) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, this project will bring meaningful improvements to a space that plays a critical role in our community’s child welfare system.
To move this work forward, Crittenton Center is seeking qualified partners to support both the design and execution of these upgrades. Planned improvements include facility renovations and an expansion to better serve youth, with a focus on creating a more functional, trauma-informed environment. This includes updates such as additional restroom and shower space, interior and exterior improvements, and enhancements that strengthen the overall quality of care provided within the home.
In tandem with design and construction services, we are also requesting proposals for environmental testing to ensure the safety of the facility. This includes radon and lead-based paint inspections, along with detailed reporting to guide the project and ensure full compliance with federal requirements.
All selected contractors will work closely with Crittenton Center, Woodbury County, and grant administrators to meet CDBG program standards and ensure that every aspect of this project aligns with federal regulations and best practices.
This investment reflects our continued commitment to providing safe, supportive, and high-quality environments for children and families. We invite qualified firms to review the full Request for Qualifications (RFQ) and Request for Proposals (RFP) documents linked below for additional details and submission information.
