Vendor/Contractor Name (including any “DBA”): Family Promise of Greater Denver, Inc.

 

Type and Scope of services to be performed:

1.                     Family Promise of Greater Denver will form partnerships with landlords and local hotels to master lease apartments and rent hotel rooms for Bridge Housing; at least five apartments and/or hotel rooms will be leased/utilized at any given time to house five separate families with dependent children.

2.                     Weekly case management will be offered to families to support efforts toward increased income, acquiring of necessary documentation, connection to mainstream benefits, and long-term stability.

3.                     70% of families served will be prioritized for housing and referred through the OneHome system. 30% of families will be referred through a local street outreach program such as Denver Street Outreach team or equivalent, or emergency shelter and other partners.

4.                     Families referred through OneHome will be pre-matched to a housing resource, reside in the residences with full financial support for an average of approximately three months, and then transition to a Rapid Rehousing voucher, Housing Choice Voucher, Permanent Supportive Housing voucher, or other long-term housing resource. The lease will be transferred to the family, so they are able to transition to the housing voucher in their already established unit, when possible. If their housing resource does not allow for them to remain in the unit, an alternative unit will be identified.

5.                     Various housing options will be assessed and pursued for households identified for bridge housing and not paired with a housing subsidy, including but not limited to:

a.                     Vulnerability Index - Service Prioritization Decision Assistance Tool (VI-SPDAT) conducted to access OneHome resources.

b.                     Applications for housing choice voucher (HCV) programs.

c.                     Market Rate housing.

d.                     Transitional Housing programs.

6.                     Each program participant will be required to be literally homeless upon entry to the Family Promise Bridge Housing program. OneHome referrals will include only those participants who completed the VI-SPDAT in the City and County of Denver. Families referred through outreach will complete a VI-SPDAT as part of this program.
