The file "List_Desired_Responders.xlsx" is a contact list for potential respondents to a housing case management contract issued by the City of New Haven's Department of Community Resilience, Office of Housing and Homeless Services (OHHS) in Connecticut. The contract seeks qualified organizations to provide housing case management services for households exiting homelessness, utilizing a Housing First Approach that prioritizes permanent housing placement for individuals and families transitioning out of homelessness through housing choice vouchers or rapid rehousing funds. The program will support individuals and families experiencing chronic or episodic homelessness by providing case management, service connections, housing assistance, financial education, tenant education, life skills training, health education, and behavioral care through individual and group sessions and home visits.

The contract aims to reduce housing access barriers, build participant capacity, and promote housing sustainability by emphasizing client choice in housing selection and recognizing that meeting basic needs precedes employment or treatment goals. The list of potential respondents includes representatives from organizations such as Community Action Agency of New Haven (CAANH), Columbus House, Fellowship Place, Continuum of Care, BH Care, and other local nonprofit and community service providers. The comprehensive approach focuses on creating a supportive platform that enables participants to pursue personal objectives and improve their quality of life, with an explicit understanding that stable housing is the foundational step for broader personal development and community integration.
