EMERGENCY SOLICITATION FOR DHS CITY SANCTUARY FACILITIES

The Department of Homeless Services (DHS) is seeking appropriately qualified vendor(s) to identify and operate units for the City Sanctuary Facilites ('Facilities') programs that will be used to house asylum seeking families and individuals in New York City. This emergency procurement is being solicited under the emergency declaration issued by the New York City Department of Social Services. The selected vendor(s) will procure and operate up to 5,000 units in Facilities such as commercial hotels or other similar facilities throughout NYC as outlined in the solicitation. The population served by the selected vendor will be families with children, adult couples, and/or individual adults. Vendors can propose to either operate just the operational portion of the Facility, the service delivery requirements of the Facility, or both and should make this clear in their proposal. This solicitation is 'open-ended', therefore, proposals will be reviewed on an on-going basis until capacity needs, including both Facility operations and service delivery have been met. DHS will start to accept proposals immediately. Proposers are advised to be ready, willing and able to provide services on a 24 hour's notice. Please be advised that (DHS) is expanding this solicitation to seek appropriately qualified vendor(s) to provide emergency, time-limited on-site social services to immigrants and asylum-seeking individuals and families who have entered the DHS shelter system. These staff will be responsible for opening and providing social services at City Sanctuary facilites ('facilities') across New York City until longer term staffing resources are secured. Staffing needed include Community Associates and Shift Supervisors. | Category: Human Services/Client Services | Method: Competitive Sealed Proposals
