About this opportunity
The City of New Haven's Department of Community Resilience, Office of Housing and Homeless Services (OHHS) is seeking proposals from qualified organizations to provide housing case management services for households exiting homelessness. The procurement, identified as RFP #2025-RFP-185, focuses on implementing a Housing First Approach to help individuals and families transition to permanent housing units using housing choice vouchers or rapid rehousing funds. Key deliverables include developing a platform to reduce housing access barriers, providing case management support, connecting participants to services, assisting with housing searches, offering financial and tenant education, life skills training, and health and behavioral care through individual/group sessions and home visits. The evaluation will be conducted in two phases, with 100 total points distributed across project narrative (20 points), project readiness (10 points), experience (30 points), capabilities and competencies (20 points), and budget (20 points). The RFP was released on April 16, 2025, with a response deadline of May 20, 2025, at 11:00 am, and includes a non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting scheduled for April 30, 2025, at 11:00 am via Zoom. The contract term is 15 months with potential two one-year renewal options at the city's discretion.
The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types, but emphasizes the importance of implementing evidence-based practices and addressing race and equity issues. Bonus points are available for organizations demonstrating fundraising capacity for gap funding. Funds are restricted to program staff salaries, administrative costs (up to 10%), and expenses related to housing search and sustainability. The RFP indicates that the project is not expected to support permanent supportive housing projects. While a specific list of desired responders includes organizations like Community Action Agency of New Haven, Columbus House, Fellowship Place, Continuum of Care, and BH Care, the opportunity appears open to qualified nonprofit and community service providers. Although the exact award value is not specified, the RFP suggests a focus on comprehensive, individualized support with the primary goal of creating a platform that enables participants to pursue personal objectives and improve their quality of life by establishing stable housing as a foundational step for broader personal development.
