AI Contract Overview
The City of Modesto and the County of Stanislaus are soliciting qualifications for an operator to manage a 400-bed emergency shelter for adults aged 18 and older. The selected organization will provide 24/7 comprehensive operations, including case management, housing navigation, meal services, security, and supportive services focused on stabilization and permanent housing pathways. Key requirements include adherence to the Housing First framework, compliance with ADA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the use of the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) following HUD privacy guidelines. Operators must maintain written policies for intake, discharge, and emergency operations, and provide quarterly reports on participant outcomes and housing placements. Eligible applicants should ideally possess ten years of experience operating emergency shelters and have managed at least one facility with a minimum of 150 beds. A critical component of the evaluation is the operator's capacity for financial sustainability, specifically the ability to maximize Cal-AIM reimbursements to cover 50% of the annual operating budget and a plan to fund at least 10% of the budget through non-governmental sources. Submittals must be uploaded via the OpenGov portal by September 25, 2026, and must include a cover letter, project summary, experience documentation, and a separate cost file. Evaluation criteria focus on organizational capacity, Cal-AIM financial expertise, partnership coordination, and a proven track record of positive housing outcomes.
