New York City’s Department of Homeless Services (DHS) is issuing an open‑ended RFP to procure operators for Tier II shelters and overnight facilities that serve homeless families with children. The contract(s) will provide safe, temporary housing and a full suite of on‑site social services—including case management, employment assistance, child‑care linkage, and health‑care referrals—until families secure permanent housing. Contracts are slated for a base term of five years with an optional four‑year renewal, and the total anticipated procurement value across all awards is about $365 million. • Operate Tier II family shelters (NY State Code 18 NYCRR 900) delivering housing plus comprehensive social services. • Provide 24/7 overnight lodging for families arriving at intake facilities outside regular shelter hours. • Contracts may be awarded up to 50 times; each award will be for a borough‑based shelter with a five‑year base term and possible four‑year extension. • Vendors must register in the City’s PASSPort procurement system to submit proposals. • Anticipated contract start date: 7/1/2021 (retro‑active to existing shelters) with the solicitation released on 3/10/2026.
