DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
Integral Care is a public community mental health authority that develops, owns, and collaborators in the operation of affordable and supportive housing serving individuals and families experiencing homelessness, mental illness, substance use disorders, and other barriers to housing stability. Integral Care maintains a diverse housing portfolio across these program types and is seeking qualified property management firms to support the effective operation, compliance, and long-term stewardship of these assets.
Integral Care invites Proposals from qualified and experienced parties (each, a “Proposer” and, collectively, “Proposers”) to provide property management services under one or both of the following scopes:
https://integralcare.org/en/fy24-annual-report/ https://integralcare.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/251016-Integral-Care-Strategic-Plan-Report.pdf https://thinkculturalhealth.hhs.gov/clas/standards https://thinkculturalhealth.hhs.gov/clas/standards
(1) traditional property management services, and/or
(2) specialty property management services for Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH).
Traditional property management services (Scope 1) are primarily focused on the operational, financial, and regulatory management of affordable housing properties and emphasize leasing, occupancy, maintenance, compliance, and financial performance.
Specialty property management (Scope 2) services for PSH require an enhanced and integrated approach that combines core property management functions with coordination of supportive services and strategies to promote housing stability for high-needs populations.
These services involve working with tenants who may have complex behavioral health and housing challenges and require additional coordination, responsiveness, and specialized practices.
Proposers may submit for one or both scopes. Proposers submitting for both scopes must clearly distinguish staffing, pricing, and operational approach for each scope within their Proposal.
The Proposer(s) selected for Contract (defined below) award (each such Proposer, a “Successful Proposer” and collectively, “Successful Proposers”) will be responsible for comprehensive operational, financial, and administrative management of assigned properties, including, but not limited to, leasing and occupancy management, rent collection, maintenance coordination, vendor management, financial reporting, regulatory compliance, and tenant relations.
For PSH properties, additional responsibilities include coordination with supportive service providers; administration of income certification and recertification; implementation of trauma-informed and harm-reduction practices; prevention and progressive lease enforcement; incident response; and provision of 24/7 on-site property management coverage, as applicable. All required services are more particularly described in Attachment B “Service Description” (collectively, the “Services).
Proposers must demonstrate experience managing comparable property types and, where applicable, affordable and supportive housing programs funded through sources such as HUD Continuum of Care (CoC), Project-Based Vouchers (PBV), Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), and other public funding streams. Proposers must also demonstrate adequate staffing capacity, effective financial management systems and internal controls, and knowledge of applicable landlord-tenant laws, Fair Housing requirements, and ADA regulations. Proposals must clearly identify the scope(s) for which the Proposer is submitting and include, at a minimum, the Proposer’s management approach, relevant experience, staffing plan, fee structure, reporting systems, transition plan, and references. Integral Care reserves the right to award one or multiple Contracts as determined to be in the best interest of the agency.
