| Description |
| This Request for Information (RFI) is being issued by the Continuum of Care on behalf of the State Department of Housing. The State intends to expand and/or develop new shelter locations to accommodate the needs of persons experiencing homelessness (living in a place that is not meant for habitation; for example, on the street, in a car, or in an abandoned building). Therefore, the State, through its Department of Housing (“Housing) is soliciting a Request for Information (“RFI”) from interested parties to
inform that expansion. This is not a Request for Proposals (RFP). Information gathered through this Request for Information will be made available publicly, will be shared directly with the preapproved list of vendors for the Consolidated Homeless Fund that are seeking to supplement their team and/or that are seeking a Site that can be used for shelter, and may be incorporated, at a later date, in future RFPs. The purpose of this RFI is to understand how the State, through the Department of Housing, can expand or develop shelter locations to serve an unmet need for shelter beds across the
state. The State is seeking additional shelter capacity in the near term to assist, in part, with the transition from pre-existing overnight warming centers and shelters that are currently slated to end between April 15, 2023, and early June 2023. Do NOT include a cost proposal with the RFI response as cost shall not be considered with this RFI. |
