RFP Purpose

The Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) has identified the need for support related to reproductive healthcare including abortion access. Chicago has long been a haven in Illinois and in the Midwest region for those seeking this type of health care service. Even before the Dobbs v. Jackson decision overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, Chicago was a destination for abortion care in the region due to increasingly restrictive laws in surrounding states.

CDPH has identified funding for organizations in Chicago that provide logistical and financial support for individuals seeking abortion care services. This funding will support Chicagoans, Illinoisans, and those from other states who are otherwise unable to access safe, legal care. The intent of this funding is to build capacity for organizations who provide such assistance.

In the context of this funding opportunity:

• “Abortion care services”: includes clinical services and follow up care that are related to the termination of a pregnancy, including medication and surgical abortion and other complex family planning care 
• “Comprehensive pregnancy options counseling”: refers to medically accurate, non-directive patient-centered education regarding continuing the pregnancy and choosing to parent, continuing the pregnancy and forming an adoption plan, and termination of pregnancy 

This RFP aligns with the following Healthy Chicago 2025 principles:

CDPH’s mission is to work with communities and partners to create an equitable, safe, resilient and Healthy Chicago. CDPH’s approach is guided by our community health improvement plan, Healthy Chicago 2025 that is focused on racial and health equity, especially eliminating Chicago's racial life expectancy gap. This includes ensuring that all people and communities have power, are free from oppression, and are strengthened by equitable access to resources, environments, and opportunities that promote health and well-being. This RFP aligns with Healthy Chicago 2025’s assessment theme of "Improve systems of care for populations most affected by inequities" because this RFP funds organizations to support individuals with the opportunity to access and control their own reproductive health care and decide if, when, and how to become a parent.
