Attachment A. Application Checklist.pdf

This is an Application Checklist for the City of Houston's Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) solicitation for a qualified nonprofit organization or local government entity to lease and operate the Housing Navigation Center. The project will provide temporary semi-private accommodations and services designed to bridge the gap between outreach and permanent housing placement for unhoused individuals, with the primary outcome being transition to housing and sustainable life skills development. The contract term is 36 months (3 years), and a pre-application conference was conducted with a recording available for review. A previously scheduled facility tour on Friday, April 24th at 11:00 AM was canceled.

The project is supported by approximately $10,500,000.00 in funding over the 36-month period, primarily from CDBG-Disaster Recovery 24 with potential additional funding from federal, state, and local sources. The solicitation seeks qualified applicants to submit applications through the BeaconBid platform, with the checklist serving as a guide to ensure all required documentation and information are included in the submission. Interested organizations should review the application requirements carefully and utilize the available pre-application conference recording to understand the project scope and operational expectations.
