The Chicago Department of Family and Support Services (DFSS) Homeless Services Division seeks to fund homeless street outreach services for vulnerable Chicagoans who are experiencing unsheltered homelessness. Through this RFP, DFSS seeks delegates who can provide intensive, case-managementdriven and housing-focused street outreach which supports people who are overcoming an array of barriers associated with experiencing homelessness. Street outreach delegates play a key role in supporting vulnerable Chicagoans as they encounter Chicago's homelessness response system. The primary goal of these services is to build a positive connection with vulnerable individuals and encourage movement to more stable situations, such as shelter and, ultimately, permanent housing.
