Vendor/Contractor Name (including any “DBA”):
The Salvation Army
Type and Scope of services to be performed:
The access point and intake team serve as the front door to screen families before entering the shelter program. The team determines if:
1) a family should receive rapid resolution assistance to divert them to more appropriate locations than the shelter system;
2) a family should be accepted into the short-term, intensive crisis stabilization program with a maximum stay of two weeks to provide necessary supports to help quickly resolve their episode of homelessness; or
3) a family should be accepted into the long-term shelter program with a maximum stay of 180 night, reserved for households in need of additional support and services in order to successfully exit to stable or permanent housing.
In addition to intake analysis, this contract provides housing-focused case management, including conflict resolution, support with maintaining or increasing income/benefits, case planning, conducting needs assessments, housing navigation, assistance with obtaining vital documents, employment navigation, school enrollment and advocacy, and additional direct client support, such as transportation assistance. This contract also includes funding for the day-to-day operations of the non-congregate shelter.
The Salvation Army will also be responsible for providing three meals a day to all guests in the family non-congregate emergency shelter.
We expect to serve 800 households in both the short- and long-term shelter program, 1,000 through the access and intake team, and 200 with rapid resolution or diversion services.
