HHIP Senior Housing Stability Assistance Program

The City of Victorville is soliciting proposals under solicitation MS27-050 for the HHIP Senior Housing Stability Assistance Program to prevent homelessness among vulnerable residents aged 55 and older. This not-to-exceed $35,000 contract, funded through an agreement with San Bernardino County, allocates $25,000 for rental and utility assistance and up to $10,000 for case management and service coordination. The selected provider must support at least 10 households through intake, eligibility verification, individualized stabilization plans, and the coordination of benefits such as Medi-Cal. Performance is tracked via monthly expenditure reports and data entry into the HMIS or another approved system. The period of performance extends from the date of execution through December 1, 2027. Proposals are evaluated on a points-based system focusing on relevant experience, program design, case management capacity, budget reasonableness, and references. Applicants must be registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations if the work is deemed public works and must comply with the ADA of 1990 and the Drug-Free Workplace Act. Required certifications include non-collusion, the Iran Contracting Act, and worker's compensation insurance. The successful consultant must maintain commercial general and automobile liability insurance with minimums of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate. Payments are made within 30 days of receiving approved invoices based on the cost per unit of work completed.
