DV Rapid Rehousing RFP - Application Closed

The All Neighbors Coalition is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) to fund agencies to deliver Rapid Rehousing, which provides short-term rental assistance, case management, navigation, and connections to community services. The Rapid Rehousing RFP includes FY2022 and FY2023 HUD funding awarded through the CoC Program DV Bonus which is dedicated to households affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, or stalking and qualify for services through Category 4 of the homeless definition.
Past Funding Opportunities
The All Neighbors Coalition is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) to fund staff providing Coordinated Outreach services. The All Neighbors Coalition has a shared goal of significantly reducing chronic unsheltered homelessness. Our community has made great progress this year, reducing unsheltered homelessness by 14 % and chronic homelessness by 32 % between 2022 and 2023. This success was achieved by providing immediate access to low barrier permanent housing and wrap-around services to people living in encampments and other locations outside.
To build on this progress, the All Neighbors Coalition has made it a top priority to expand the capacity of dedicated outreach teams working under the communitywide Coordinated Outreach Strategy.
