Low-Barrier Interim Shelter Program

The County of Sacramento Office of Homeless Initiatives (OHI) is seeking interest from qualified organizations interested in operating a low barrier, scattered site interim 24/7 shelter program for persons experiencing unsheltered homelessness. The program will be inclusive of both operations and re-housing services. The shelter re-housing services provider may be the same as the shelter operations provider or will work closely with the provider, if a separate entity. You will see the opportunity to select one or both programs later on in the LOI. Sacramento County funds and supports operations of sheltering programs throughout the County, using a variety of approaches and physical buildings to address the unique needs of people living unsheltered. One of the core sheltering programs is the Re-Housing Shelter Network (RSN), also known as "scattered site shelter". This model utilizes existing residential facilities within neighborhoods to support small (typically less than 5) sheltering programs. The RSN allows for sheltering for people who cannot be supported in traditional, congregate settings, and can accommodate varying household configurations and serve people with their pets. With recent expansion in the RSN program, and the changing needs in the Sacramento shelter system, the County is seeking interest from community partners with expertise in shelter operations and/or re-housing services Dial by your location +1 669 254 5252 US (San Jose) +1 669 216 1590 US (San Jose) +1 551 285 1373 US +1 646 828 7666 US (New York) Meeting ID: 160 364 6492 Find your local number: https://www.zoomgov.com/u/ab0DQoi8p7 Dial by your location +1 669 254 5252 US (San Jose) +1 669 216 1590 US (San Jose) +1 551 285 1373 US +1 646 828 7666 US (New York) Meeting ID: 160 565 9008 Find your local number: https://www.zoomgov.com/u/aeol6vl1Zj Question Submission Deadline:January 24, 2023, 4:00pm Program Area 1, Shelter Operations A.
