Vendor/Contractor Name (including any “DBA”):
The Colorado Coalition for the Homeless
Type and Scope of services to be performed:
Contractor will provide a level of care based on clinical assessment, integrated with a flexible array of housing options delivered through an evidence-based Housing First approach to provide housing and supportive services for the costliest members of the “Super Utilizers” population (“SU”).
After an individual has been deemed eligible for the Project by passing the felony screen, the individual may be served by the Project.
From initial contact with the Client, Provider will assess the Client’s appropriate housing needs, establish a housing stability plan, and work with the Client to access and maintain appropriate housing.
All services will be voluntary and driven by individual choice. Recognizing that individuals may initially refuse assistance or services, Provider will assertively and creatively engage tenants, including engaging Clients multiple times and in multiple settings, to maximize participation in services. The delivery of all services will be guided by the principles of cultural competence, trauma informed care, recovery, and resiliency with an emphasis on building enrollee strengths and resources in the community, with family, and with their peer/social network.
