Homeless Services Monitoring and Training

The State of Connecticut, specifically the Department of Housing (DOH) in collaboration with the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS), is seeking private provider organizations to deliver comprehensive training, monitoring, and technical assistance services for permanent supportive housing and homeless service programs statewide. The Request for Proposal (RFP) solicits vendors to provide training courses and program monitoring across multiple service areas including Outreach, Coordinated Entry, Diversion, Shelter, and Rapid Rehousing programs. The selected vendor will be responsible for developing and implementing comprehensive training curricula, conducting program monitoring, and providing technical assistance to enhance the effectiveness of homeless services throughout Connecticut. The solicitation period runs from December 2, 2024, at 9:30 AM EST to January 24, 2025, at 3:00 PM EST, with a vendor Q&A period from December 2, 2024, at 10:00 AM EST through December 20, 2024, at 3:00 PM EST. Potential vendors must submit three key documents: a Training and Monitoring RFP Final document, a CoverSheet, and an Annual Budget Form.

The RFP is open to all private provider organizations defined as non-state entities, specifically targeting nonprofit and proprietary corporations or partnerships. There are no explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor qualifications beyond the non-state entity requirement. The procurement will result in separate contracts with DOH and DMHAS, with each agency issuing its own contract for training, monitoring, and technical assistance services. Delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination with vendor-specified payment terms. The primary contact for the RFP is Steve DiLella from the Department of Housing, who can be reached at 860-205-0981 or Steve.Dilella@ct.gov. While no specific contract value or budget range is explicitly stated in the documentation, the comprehensive nature of the services suggests a significant potential contract opportunity for qualified vendors capable of delivering extensive training and monitoring services across multiple homeless service program types.
