· Winter/Cold Weather Shelter
· Warming/Drop-In Center
· Safe Parking

For the purposes of this RFP, a “nontraditional homeless service provider” is defined as a community-based organization that has not historically received public funds for providing homeless services but has played a role in the community’s response to homelessness. Applicants must have less than $1 million yearly in operating funds to support homeless services and a limited history of administering government grants.
Selection criteria will include the applicant’s connection to the local community, project feasibility, alignment with community goals, and the extent to which the organization is led by or serves historically underrepresented communities.
