Commissioners just voted to approve the notice of intent to award for the transition age youth (TAY) statewide advocacy contract to Pro Youth and Families!

The Commission's advocacy contracts are awarded in nine different populations to support uplifting the voice of those in marginalized and vulnerable communities. This important work will involve connecting policy and decision makers with the TAY community in a time where these connections are much needed.

This Notice of Intent to Award is posted on the Commission’s website for five (5) working days, from March 26, 2026, through April 2, 2026, which represents the formal protest period.
