Consolidated Homeless Grant (CHG)
2011-2013 Request For Proposals (RFP)
Snohomish County Human Services Department is requesting proposals for services focused on ending homelessness. An estimated $825,500 over two (2) years will be awarded to proposals designed to support an integrated system of housing assistance to prevent homelessness and quickly re-house households who are unsheltered.
Specifically, proposals are being sought for the following service components:
- Targeted Prevention – estimated two-year award of $293,000
- Rapid Re-Housing – estimated two-year award of $293,000
- Institutional Discharge – estimated two-year award of $169,500
- Emergency Shelter Motel/Hotel vouchers – estimated two-year award of $70,000
The Consolidated Homeless Grant also funds emergency shelter operational costs. Those funds are available through the CHG Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA), not RFP, located on the CHG-NOFA webpage.
The overriding directive of these RFP’s is to fund services or programs that result in outcomes that lead to movement toward, or achievement of the following:
- Preventing homelessness;
- Rapidly moving households to permanent housing;
- Reducing the time spent homeless on streets, shelters, and transitional housing.
The following principles will guide this work:
- Services must be readily accessible, community-wide, and sensitive to households of diverse backgrounds experiencing and at-risk of homelessness.
- Meaningful collaboration and coordination between service providers or programs are sought to assure that services can be rendered throughout Snohomish County.
Application Submission and Due Date: Applications must be received by -
Tuesday, August 23, 2011, no later than 4:00 pm.
