EMERGENCY SOLICITATION FOR DHS CITY SANCTUARY FACILITIES

The New York City Department of Homeless Services (DHS) has issued an emergency solicitation to identify and operate up to 5,000 sanctuary units (e.g., commercial hotels or similar facilities) for asylum‑seeking families and individuals across NYC. Vendors may propose to manage the physical operation of the facilities, provide on‑site social services staff (Community Associates and Shift Supervisors), or both. The solicitation is open‑ended and will be evaluated on a rolling basis until all capacity and service needs are satisfied; proposals are accepted immediately and must be ready to mobilize within 24 hours of award. This opportunity is ideal for firms experienced in large‑scale temporary housing operations, hospitality management, and social‑service staffing for vulnerable populations. • Operate or manage up to 5,000 hotel‑type units for asylum seekers throughout NYC. • Provide on‑site social‑service staffing (community associates, shift supervisors) for emergency, time‑limited support. • Competitive sealed‑proposal process; open‑ended, rolling review until capacity needs are met.
