Solicitation of Interest – Problem Solving Services (non-Access Point)
Description
The Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing (HSH) is soliciting applications from community-based organizations to provide Problem Solving services to households (families, youth and/or single adults) experiencing homelessness, as defined by the San Francisco Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing (HSH) definitions.
The Department is seeking qualified applicants who demonstrate the necessary expertise, experience, and capacity to provide Problem Solving Services. The successful delivery of Problem Solving requires staff to truly understand the dynamics of homelessness, be skilled at motivational interviewing techniques, and embrace and embody strength-based, person-centered, trauma-informed, and harm-reducing principles.
Problem Solving services are available to any household experiencing homelessness in San Francisco who has an annual household income at the time of assistance no higher than 50% of the Area Median Income (AMI). Problem Solving services are being offered in all HSH Access Points and at 12 Family Shelters. One of the purposes of this SOI is to be able to reach a broader community (especially households who may never interact with the Homelessness Response System) by selecting a Problem Solving provider who will not function as an Access Point.

Solicitation of Interest (SOI) Direct Cash Transfer Program Pilot for Transitional Age Youth
Description:
The Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing (HSH) is seeking to fund a youth- serving community partner to design, implement, and manage a direct cash transfer (DCT) program pilot for youth between the ages of 18-24, usually referred to as Transitional Age Youth (TAY). Based on the most recent Point-in-Time count (conducted in 2019), there were 1,145 youth experiencing homelessness on a single night in San Francisco; 95% of these youth were TAY. In an effort to reduce the number of TAY experiencing homelessness in San Francisco, to increase TAY’s housing stability, and to expand the City’s inventory of available interventions to support ending youth homelessness, HSH is interested in piloting a DCT program.

Solicitation of Interest (SOI) Coordinated Entry and Problem Solving Services to the Justice-Involved Population
Description:
The Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing (HSH) is soliciting applications from community based organizations to provide Coordinated Entry and Problem Solving services to the justice-involved population. The goal of these services is to bridge the gaps between the justice involved population and the Homelessness Response System (HRS).
HSH is seeking community-based organizations who demonstrate the necessary expertise, experience, and capacity to provide Coordinated Entry and Problem Solving Services to ensure the justice involved population experiencing homelessness has equitable access to the HRS.
After community input and consultation with experts in the justice system, HSH has identified households with individuals who are incarcerated in the San Francisco County Jail and are expected to be released to the community and those who have been granted pretrial release as the targeted population for this funding. This community-based agency will take part in a citywide effort among various city Departments and other community-based agencies to have a more intentional and holistic program delivery to the justice-involved population, starting with this specific sub-group and in future years expanding to other groups.
