Strengthening Infrastructure to Support Homelessness

This sole‑source award funds a statewide effort to strengthen the infrastructure supporting homelessness services in New Mexico. The New Mexico Coalition to End Homelessness will deliver a comprehensive program that includes governance coordination, a real‑time By‑Name List, implementation of the Awards HMIS database, technical assistance, training, and elected‑official outreach. The work is organized into five major components (statewide CoC coordination, BNL development, HMIS data quality, regional hub technical assistance, and policy engagement) and must be completed within a one‑year period. • Scope covers system‑wide governance, data‑system procurement (HMIS), and continuous improvement of coordinated entry processes. • Contract value is $850,000, fixed‑price for a 12‑month delivery window (07/01/2026 – 06/30/2027). • Contractor must provide statewide training, technical assistance, and quarterly reporting, including federal HUD data submissions (AHAR/APR). • The award is a sole‑source solicitation based on “unique expertise” – the coalition is the only entity with the requisite statewide authority and existing relationships with all Continuums of Care. • No set‑aside designations or renewal options are indicated; the contract ends on 30 June 2027 unless a separate extension is negotiated.
