Emergency Shelter & Transitional Living Operations

The City of Dallas is seeking a subcontractor to operate or support emergency shelter and transitional living facilities dedicated to homeless youth, requiring comprehensive management of daily operations including rent and utility payments, supply procurement, food pantry logistics, and overall facility maintenance. The contractor must ensure safe, stable, and supportive environments that meet the physical, emotional, and developmental needs of vulnerable young populations, with an emphasis on continuity of care and access to essential resources. This effort is governed under NAICS code 624210, which classifies the work under residential care facilities for non-institutionalized populations. Proposals must be submitted by July 7, 2026, and the contract is structured as a subcontract, meaning the selected provider will interface with an existing contract holder or primary contractor overseeing the broader service initiative. While no set-aside provisions or specific organizational type requirements are outlined, the successful bidder must demonstrate proven experience in managing youth-focused transitional housing, managing budgets for operational costs, and coordinating with social services to support long-term outcomes for homeless youth in the Dallas area. The opportunity is posted on the City of Dallas’s BonfireHub platform, and all communications and submissions must follow the official online process.
