07122P0013 - Shelter and Overnight Facilities for Homeless Adult Families

The Department of Homeless Services is seeking proposals for shelter and overnight facilities for homeless adult families. The goal of this RFP is to procure high-quality, borough-based shelters that will enable these families to quickly obtain permanent housing within the community. The shelters shall provide structure and an atmosphere which facilitates assessment of the families' needs, the provision of case management and other social services, referrals to appropriate community-based services, and assistance in securing alternative housing. The contract term will be five years with a four-year option to renew. • The Department of Homeless Services works to prevent homelessness before it occurs, address street homelessness, and assist New Yorkers in transitioning from shelter and street homelessness to permanent housing. • The shelters shall provide transitional housing for adult families without other housing options, as well as services that help secure viable housing in the community and maintain independent living arrangements. • The City also seeks proposals for the Overnight Facility Program, pursuant to which contractors supply lodging to homeless adult families who apply for shelter at an intake facility during the hours of 10:00pm and 10:00am, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
