On October 26, 2020, the City of Tucson issued a Request for Letters of Interest from eligible non-profits with capacity and experience to operate winter shelter, housing navigation, and rapid rehousing programs funded through Federal CARES Act allocations awarded through the HUD Community Development Block Grant and Emergency Solutions Grant programs.

Questions about this solicitation should be directed to Jodie Barnes at Jodie.Barnes@tucsonaz.gov. 

Background

The City of Tucson has planned with the community to respond to the COVID-19 virus by supporting and funding efforts to provide housing and other services to persons experiencing homelessness. The City of Tucson has received supplemental funding through the CARES Act Community Development Block Grant (CDBG-CV) and CARES Act Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG-CV) programs to address emergent needs related to COVID-19 and homelessness. As a result of the COVID-19 health emergency, non-congregate shelter and longer-term rehousing strategies are needed to reduce risk of health complications to vulnerable people experiencing homelessness.

The City of Tucson is releasing this Request for Letters of Interest from eligible non-profit and government entities with capacity to provide winter shelter, rapid rehousing, and/or navigation services for people experiencing homelessness in the Tucson area. Project funding will include CDBG-CV and ESG-CV funds and will require full compliance with applicable Federal requirements except where waivers of regulatory requirements have been obtained by the City of Tucson.

Housing Navigation: The City of Tucson intends to subaward CDBG-CV Public Services funds to one or more agencies in the amount of not more than $150,000 to one or more agencies for the purpose of providing eligible essential services that promote permanent housing placement and stability for a minimum of 125 eligible households referred by the City of Tucson during the period of November 23, 2020 – November 30, 2021.
