Project Overview
Right at Home Prevention Pilot:
This opportunity seeks an experienced nonprofit provider(s) to implement targeted homelessness prevention services for households at imminent risk of homelessness. The selected provider will deliver flexible financial assistance and supportive services designed to help households remain stably housed. The provider will conduct prevention assessments, provide problem-solving support, and issue financial assistance quickly to address urgent housing needs. Supportive services must be client-led, strength-based, and trauma-informed, with Housing Stability Plans developed for each participant. Participants may also be referred to legal services when housing-related legal issues are identified. The selected provider must coordinate with the Right at Home legal services provider to ensure continuity of care. The selected provider must also participate in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) conducted with the University of Notre Dame’s Wilson Sheehan Lab for Economic Opportunities (LEO), which includes random assignment of clients to treatment and control groups and adherence to research protocols.
Anticipated Award
Respondents are requested to submit a budget proposal to serve up to 500 households annually.
