Type and Scope of services to be performed:
Supportive Housing Requirements
A. Supportive Housing Requirements: All 36 units in the subject property will be Supportive Housing Units. Furthermore, provision of Supportive Services is expected for all the 36 Supportive Housing Units. Except as provided below, 100% of all tenants residing in the SH units must be sourced through OneHome, the regional coordinated entry system maintained by City. An individual is eligible for the SH unit if the individual is registered in the OneHome database, earns at or below 30% of AMI, and meets the household size composition requirements. This requirement will be measured both initially and cumulatively as vacancies at the property are filled. Should no eligible applicant tenants be available through OneHome coordinated entry, tenants meeting the eligibility requirements may be sourced from MHCD waiting list.
B. Contractor Requirements:
i. Outcomes and HMIS Reporting: Contractor must report all necessary data and information in the Homeless Management Information System (“HMIS”), managed by the Metro Denver Homeless Initiative (“MDHI”) to accurately calculate the Measures required by this Agreement.
ii. Commitment to Quality: The Contractor is required to commit to the provision of high-quality Supportive Housing, as described in the Corporation for Supportive Housing (“CSH”) Dimensions of Quality Supportive Housing Guidebook. The CSH Dimensions of Quality establish five key indicators of quality for Supportive Housing projects. All successful Supportive Housing projects include the following dimensions and are:
1. Tenant-centered: Tenants play an active role in planning the Supportive Housing project, and all partners share a common commitment to helping tenants thrive
2. Accessible: Housing is affordable, in a location that meets tenants’ needs, and accommodates persons with special needs
3. Coordinated: Roles, responsibilities and communication strategies are clearly established among the Supportive Housing partners, codified in written agreements and revisited regularly
4. Integrated: The project meets or exceeds community standards, and the partners actively engage in community dialogue
5. Sustainable: The project has funding that is adequate for its ongoing operations and allows it to target its intended tenants
iii. Supportive Services Standards: Contractor must have a staff-to-client ratio of no less than one (1) staff person to every fifteen (15) SH units. Staff must have the relevant education and experience needed to implement Supportive Services, as determined by the State of Colorado Office of Homeless Initiatives (“OHI”). Supportive Services must be offered on a volunteer basis to tenants of Supportive Housing Units. In addition, services are expected to be implemented in a manner reliant on current best practice models, including Housing First, Harm Reduction and Trauma-Informed Care. Intensive case management services must be available to residents of Supportive Housing Units, including the following services:
1. Access to a multidisciplinary treatment team, including: Nursing care, case management, peer support, individual therapy and group therapy, and psychiatry/medication support.
2. Housing stabilization: Contractor must provide assistance in healing from trauma, addiction, mental health issues and homelessness through assessment, treatment planning, benefit acquisition, care coordination, and crisis response. These interventions will support long-term housing stability.
3. Linkage to community supports: Contractor must work to develop community supports through engagement, socialization, life skills, peer activities, and vocational programming.
