FY26-DHS-FSA-COC- Shelter Operations - The Community Partnership

The District of Columbia Department of Human Services is forecasting a contract opportunity for FY26 to support shelter operations under the Continuum of Care Program through The Community Partnership. This initiative aims to provide comprehensive homelessness services, including emergency shelter, outreach, and supportive services to individuals and families experiencing homelessness across the city. The contract will focus on delivering operational capacity and programmatic delivery within designated shelter facilities, ensuring alignment with regional and federal standards for homelessness response. While specific funding amounts and contract terms are not yet available, the effort is expected to require robust service coordination, data reporting, and compliance with D.C. human services policies. The performance location is within the District of Columbia, with services tailored to meet the needs of vulnerable populations in urban settings. The agency is seeking a qualified nonprofit or service provider with proven experience in homeless shelter management, client intake and assessment, case management, and collaboration with other social service entities. Although no set-aside information or NAICS code has been specified, the opportunity will likely prioritize organizations with demonstrated success in delivering trauma-informed, Housing First-aligned interventions. The forecast was posted on July 23, 2026, and interested parties are encouraged to monitor the official procurement portal for formal solicitation release and submission guidelines.
