PROPOSAL SUBMITTAL

Scope of Work

Executive Summary

Adams County Community Safety & Well-Being (CSWB) is launching the $1M Blocks Project, a proactive initiative to prevent homelessness for 22 households in high-risk eviction and foreclosure zones. The program will leverage targeted financial assistance and the $1M Blocks model—a data-informed approach—to provide immediate support while promoting long-term housing stability, with a total investment of $200,000.

The project is uniquely structured to combine financial relief with required participation in educational opportunities that build self-sufficiency, including but not limited to:

• Financial Literacy

• Career Readiness (e.g., resume building, interview skills)

• Navigating Resources

These classes are offered in both English and Spanish, and participation in at least one class is required, ensuring households not only stabilize their current situation but are also empowered for long-term success.

The Need

According to the University of Arizona’s Eviction Calculator, each eviction or foreclosure results in an average of $10,400 in downstream costs to taxpayers. More than 4,000 evictions have occurred since 2020 in the two identified high-risk zones of Adams County— areas that also experience:

• Lower life expectancy

• Higher exposure to pollutants

• Higher truancy rates

• Lower income levels

In 2024, more than 3,800 individuals accessed homeless-related services in Adams County, with 58% from households with children and 38% under age 18. The $1M Blocks Project seeks to intervene early, preventing housing loss and reducing both personal trauma and public expense.

Program Integration

The $1M Blocks Project is strategically tied to multiple existing programs and county resources, including:

• Workforce Business Center (WBC): Utilizes WBC resources and frameworks to design resource trainings and connect participants to employment support.

• Human Services Center’s Community Resources and Outreach Coordinators:

Partners in connecting individuals to local services.

• Tool Shed Program: Available for clients needing yard and gardening tools for personal use.

• Community-Based Organizations: Help deliver customized resource training aligned with participant needs.

The project functions as an extension of ongoing efforts to connect Adams County residents to holistic support.

Details & Scope

Core project activities include:

• Provide direct financial assistance for rent or mortgage to qualifying clients.

o Assistance for eviction/foreclosure assistance will be no more than $7,500 per household.

o Eligibility criteria inclusive of nontraditional housing situations (e.g., informal leases)

• Conduct case management tailored to individual needs of clients.

o Tailored case management should be centered on clients’ housing/saving/etc. goals and needs.

• Provide active landlord engagement and negotiation to ensure success

• Facilitate clients’ required completion in low-barrier, practical trainings focused on self-sufficiency.

o Trainings will be primarily provided by Adams County. However, the vendor may offer additional classes/courses to program clients at their own expense.

• Referral to wraparound services through neighborhood outreach teams and partners

Additional Services Provided

• Individualized case management provided by the vendor or sub-contractor contracted with vendor. Case management frequency will be determined by vendor and should follow best practices based on populated served.

• Connection to local outreach services and participation in community-based resource training

• Employment readiness support, including classes developed in collaboration with workforce programs

• Services in Spanish, ensuring access for monolingual households

Million-Dollar Blocks Assessment Alignment

The project directly addresses root causes identified in the Million-Dollar Blocks analysis by:

• Offering employment-related services and training

• Providing person-centered, holistic case management

• Delivering services proactively—before an eviction notice is required

• Connecting participants with long-term supports based on individualized assessments

• The vendor will be expected to collaborate with additional entities such as the Adams County Public Health Department to provide a whole person approach and alignment with Million Dollar Blocks.

Target Population

• Residents of unincorporated areas in 80221, 80229, and 80030 facing imminent eviction or foreclosure by supporting document and/or residents have documented proof of back-rent/mortgage.

• Households at high risk of homelessness due to financial hardship

• Those who may be ineligible for traditional rental assistance programs

Potential Impact

• Preventing eviction/foreclosure for 22 households

• Saving taxpayers an estimated $468,000 in downstream costs

• Building trust in county services through proactive, respectful support

• Increasing long-term housing security with wraparound referrals and trainings

Allowable Costs
