Emergency Solicitation for the DHS City Sanctuary Facilities

The Department of Homeless Services (DHS) is seeking appropriately qualified vendor(s) to identify and operate units for the City Sanctuary Intake and City Sanctuary Facilities (Facilities) programs that will be used to house asylum seeking families and individuals in New York City. This emergency procurement is being solicited under the emergency declaration issued by the New York City Department of Social Services. The selected vendor(s) will procure and operate up to 5,000 units in Facilities such as commercial hotels or other similar facilities throughout NYC as outlined in the solicitation. The population served by the selected vendor will be families with children, adult couples, and/or individual adults. Vendors can propose to either operate just the operational portion of the Facility, the service delivery requirements of the Facility, or both and should make this clear in their proposal. This solicitation is open-ended. Therefore, proposals will be reviewed on an on-going basis until capacity needs, including both Facility operations and service delivery, have been met. DHS will start to accept proposals immediately. Proposers are advised to be ready, willing, and able to provide services on a 24 hours notice.
