BACKGROUND
The Office of Procurement Services issued solicitation No. BCZ25-00027916 on May 29, 2025, and received eleven proposals. On November 12, 2025, the City Council rejected all proposals. Following the City Council direction, OHCE issued a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) on January 30, 2026, to better align services with program priorities and operational needs.
Eleven proposals were received and evaluated in accordance with applicable requirements detailed in the NOFA. Transition Resource Action Center (TRAC) received the highest score based on demonstrated competence, qualification, and cost, and is recommended for the award.
The recommended vendor will provide housing and supportive services to unaccompanied youth twenty-four years of age and younger who are experiencing homelessness. TRAC's program activities are delivered through an integrated service model that blends street outreach, low-barrier drop-in engagement, intensive case management, and housing navigation to ensure continuity of care from first contact through stabilization. The total number of unduplicated youth-headed households targeted to be served annually across all program components - street outreach, day/night shelter and case management is 240.
