DESCRIPTION
The government authority in Tacoma, Washington is seeking a vendor to provide homeless outreach services throughout the county. The services are intended to engage homeless households, especially individuals and families who are unsheltered, disconnected from available services, or unlikely to seek assistance despite significant needs.
The selected provider will be expected to conduct outreach across designated regions, including unincorporated areas, with a focus on comprehensive service coverage and reducing duplication among providers. Outreach activities may include assessing supportive service and behavioral health needs, but the primary emphasis must remain on housing-focused problem solving using a Housing First approach.
The provider will also be required to enter data into the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) for documentation, coordination, outcome tracking, and data collection. In addition, outreach teams must use the GIS mapping tool within HMIS to document outreach interactions and location-based activity related to unsheltered homelessness, including encampments, vehicles, public spaces, abandoned buildings, and other places not meant for human habitation.
