Background

HOST invites proposals from qualified partners to complete the scope of work outlined in this RFP. Proposals must clearly demonstrate the applicant's capacity to meet all project requirements independently. Evaluation will be based exclusively on the specified criteria, and all work must be carried out by the applicant.

The Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program Procurement addresses the following HOST-Homelessness Resolution Strategic Plan Goals:

•Reduce unsheltered homelessness from 2023 Point in Time Count to 2027 Point-in Time Count by 75%

•Increase the annual number of households served in rehousing and supportive housing programs from 1,800 to 2,500

•Measurably end veteran homelessness by achieving functional zero by 2026, i.e. placing at least as many veterans into permanent housing each month as there are veterans experiencing homelessness 

•Increase the contract benchmark for the percentage of sheltered households who exit to housing from 30% to 40% 

•Increase the number of family households who exit shelter and outreach programs to housing from 25% to 50%

•Reduce the average length of time residents experience homelessness to 90 days 

•ESG programs are a community-based set of activities with the goal of preventing or ending episodes of homelessness for individuals and families as quickly as possible. The ESG Program Procurement seeks to provide funding for eligible ESG programs for people in Denver experiencing housing insecurity and homelessness. ESG programs should promote long-term stability for participants and whenever possible should seek to improve the conditions within the homelessness resolution system. To achieve the goals listed above the ESG Program Procurement will fund the following ESG Eligible Activities: 

•Street Outreach 

•Rapid Rehousing (RRH) 

•Emergency Shelter 

•Homelessness Prevention 

•Access to and use of the Homelessness Management Information System (HMIS) 

These eligible activities will be used to expeditiously support people experiencing homelessness, both sheltered and unsheltered, in the Denver Area into stable housing as quickly as possible. HOST recognizes that many groups and identities are overrepresented in the homeless population and encourage proposals that will serve overrepresented groups.

To better understand the expectations for each ESG program type applicants can review the ESG Written Standards. 

Federal requirements associated with ESG funding, including BABA compliance, are detailed in Section II.C.9
