Homelessness and Housing Administration Support Services

The government authority in Minnesota is seeking a vendor to provide homelessness and housing administration support services. The agency needs to address homelessness by securing tenant-based rental assistance and housing relocation and stabilization services. The selected partner will manage short and medium-term rental assistance for up to twenty-four months, as well as rental arrears when those arrears prevent an individual experiencing homelessness from obtaining permanent housing. The scope of work also covers financial assistance and stabilization services provided in conjunction with Emergency Solutions Grants or other tenant-based rental assistance. The agency requires the vendor to administer financial assistance for rental application fees, security deposits, last month’s rent, utility deposits, utility payments, and moving costs. Additionally, the service provider must deliver housing search and placement, housing stability case management, legal services, and credit repair. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based exclusively in the United States. The agency requires all work to be performed offsite at the vendor's own office location. The authority has not disclosed a set budget and is currently looking for proposals to determine the cost of these services. Key dates and specific evaluation criteria are not specified in the initiating procurement details.
