Cold Weather Shelter

The State of Connecticut DOH is requesting proposals from eligible applicants to implement, coordinate and oversee Cold Weather Shelters in a specific Coordinated Access Network (CAN) geographic area. Agencies are expected to coordinate with other agencies in the CAN geography to ensure that all Cold Weather Shelter activities are comprehensive and well-coordinated. The goal of this RFP is to equitably allocate funding to proportionally based on the previous year’s relative needs documented in each CAN; 2) set a standard cost-per-bed for cold weather sheltering programs across the State; 3) tie clear expectations and standards to Cold Weather Shelter; and 4) establish an equitable approach to fund Cold Weather Shelter components that can be scaled up proportionally in the event that additional State funding is made available through legislative commitments. One agency per CAN will be selected to oversee and subcontract for Cold Weather Shelter. Individual programs will not be awarded
