Stanislaus County is seeking a provider to deliver coordinated shelter and housing-stability services for eligible CalWORKs households. - Government buyer: Stanislaus County General Services Agency (GSA) Purchasing Division, on behalf of the Community Services Agency (CSA), serving Modesto and Stanislaus County. - OEMs and vendors: No OEMs, product manufacturers, or service-provider vendors are named. - Requested services: Operate the Homeless Assistance Program (HAP) and Housing Support Program (HSP), including temporary shelter coordination, housing search and navigation, case management, landlord outreach, rental and move-in support, budgeting and credit education, utility-assistance information, and community-service referrals. Coordinate transitions between the programs. - Staffing and service locations: Assign two HSP case managers to the Family Housing Facility in Modesto, each for at least 20 hours per week. The scope also references management of the year-round Family Housing Facility and the seasonal Empire Cold Weather Shelter. - Shelter and payment requirements: Maintain agreements with at least two motels that accept after-hours referrals. HAP shelter is generally limited to 16 cumulative days per household in a 12-month period. Reimbursement is capped at $85 per day for a family of four or fewer, plus $15 per additional member, up to $145 per day; HAP administration is compensated at 10% of authorized shelter costs. HSP emergency stays may generally last up to two business days, with extensions based on need and County approval for longer stays. - Program and reporting requirements: Provide bilingual service capacity, use Rapid Rehousing core components, enter HMIS information within one working day of receiving forms, and complete monthly data-quality work. Submit quarterly outcome scorecards and annual and budget narratives. Scorecard targets include weekly case-management services for most participating HSP households and permanent-housing outcomes. - Funding and term: The stated combined funding ceiling is $404,000: $90,000 for HAP and $314,000 for HSP. The initial agreement is one year, with possible annual extensions subject to the stated renewal limit and annual funding review. - Other notable requirements: The sample agreement calls for WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility for digital deliverables and strong privacy and security protections for Medi-Cal data and personally identifiable information.
