Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Housing Authority of the City of Wilmington, NC (WHA) requests proposals from qualified responders to assist the WHA in the development, coordination and implementation of a Choice Neighborhoods Initiative (CNI) case management program. The goal of the case management program is to help Wilmington Housing Authority residents achieve self-sufficiency and economic independence, to the greatest extent possible. Through the CNI program, WHA will establish a case management program that will offer an array of supportive service options, such as early education and after school programs, employment preparation and training, health services, etc. While the exact nature of the CNI program is undefined at this time, WHA anticipates that the case management component will include a combination of direct service provision and coordination of, and referral to, services that are targeted to each resident. The selected organization will be hired under a contract for a 4.5 year term renewable for one year at Wilmington Housing Authoritys discretion. The provision of these services is contingent upon the award of a Choice Neighborhoods Implementation Grant.
