Provide coordinated entry services for all Kitsap County households (a household may comprise an individual or two or more people who self-define as a household) experiencing homelessness, imminently losing housing, or at-risk of homelessness. These coordinated entry services include outreach, intake, assessment, prioritization, and referral to appropriate housing and resources; a diversion/prevention intervention program; management of a priority pool for emergency shelter beds; and coordination with community partners. Kitsap County has contracted for a CEP since 2011, which has been successfully implemented and operated. Proposals responding to this RFP should to the extent possible preserve successful aspects of the existing CEP and build on it to enhance the following existing services. See below for additional information and requirements.
