Vendor/Contractor Name (including any “DBA”): The Urban Institute
Type and Scope of services to be performed: Urban Institute will support the Denver Supportive Housing Pay for Performance (SHP4P, formally SIB) by managing and coordinating referral pathways, engaging in data collection for the impact study, and developing & disseminating a contract year report.
1. Task 1: Referral Pathway-Management & Coordination
a. Based upon the eligibility criteria established in the Research Design and in coordination with the City of Denver (“City”), the Denver PFS, LLC (i.e., Social Impact Bond Special Purpose Vehicle “SPV”)), and Colorado Coalition for the Homeless (“CCH”), the Urban Institute (“Urban”) will:
i. Lead and coordinate ongoing updates to the eligibility list (contingent upon ongoing DPD assistance).
ii. Lead and coordinate a referral and hand-off process for those individuals identified as the group receiving treatment (contingent upon the ongoing assistance of Cindy Laub or other appointed contact with DPD access);
b. As a part of this task, Urban will work with all program partners to address ongoing challenges and referral and enrollment difficulties, including but not limited to:
i. Attending operating committee meetings and governance committee meetings;
ii. Providing ongoing and timely support to City, SPV, and CCH staff involved with the project; and
iii. Generating proposals for improving processes to ensure adequate referral and enrollment levels are met.
c. As part of the SHP4P Extension, and pending necessary support from MDHI, Urban will work with program partners to create a new referral pathway to identify individuals who meet project eligibility criteria and are currently unsheltered. To create this new referral pathway, Urban will:
i. Link project data with HMIS data to analyze population overlap and potential eligibility criteria;
ii. Work with MDHI to determine a process by which eligible individuals are identified within HMIS; and
iii. Connect the new DSOC/SOLE referral pathway with the existing referral process for the evaluation.
2. Task 2: Impact Study-Data Collection
a. In accordance with the Research Design, Urban will collect and certify the validity of the data and calculations used to inform City payments. Pending access to data, Urban will:
i. Collect and validate Service Provider data on participant engagement and exits from housing and measure days spent in housing; and
ii. Collect and validate Denver Sheriff Department data on jail days and measure the impact of the Program on the target population’s jail days.
b. In addition to the payment measures, Urban will collect and analyze data on additional evaluation outcomes and impacts only if data are made available by the City and other project partners. These include:
i. Healthcare utilization and costs; and
ii. Homelessness system utilization and costs.
3. Task 3: Reporting and Dissemination
a. For project monitoring purposes, Urban will maintain a monthly dashboard as outlined in the Evaluation Design. Data for this dashboard will be collected at least monthly from CCH. Individual-level data on participant engagement and enrollment in the program will be provided by CCH and aggregated by Urban into a monthly dashboard that Urban will share with the City.
b. Urban will conduct outcome analyses for the SHP4P Extension and provide biannual evaluation reports to the City, in alignment with the established reporting schedule and process for the Supportive Housing Pay for Performance. Reports will be provided on 6- month and 12-month outcomes for the SHP4P Extension. Reports will be provided on the following schedule:
i. Biannual project evaluation reports (engagement and housing stability outcomes through 6/30/22) 6/30/21; 9/30/21; 6/30/22; & 9/30/22
