SCOPE OF SERVICES
Background
The City of San Bernardino is developing a 200-bed, low barrier, non-congregate navigation center that will provide interim housing and onsite supportive services. The goal is to have unhoused individuals diverted from the streets to the navigation center.

A referral hotline and screening process will be in place, making it necessary for the Homeless Street Outreach team to work collectively with the lead operator of the navigation center to ensure a consistent screening process. Screening for the navigation center will be necessary to ensure Penal Code 290 (sex offenders) are not granted access as women and children will be onsite. Case managers will be able to refer Penal Code 290’s to appropriate facilities. Also, walk-ins will not be accepted.

Until the navigation center is completed, homeless residents will need assistance with alternative safe housing (I.e., motels & housing resources from local homeless service providers). The City is actively pursuing grants to assist with motel stays, but it is important that the selected lead operator have the ability to engage with local non- profits and the County’s Continuum of Care (CoC) to utilize and/or expand resource opportunities related to temporary housing options.

Federal Requirements: If the Services are funded through a federal or State funding source, the successful Proposer and its subcontractors shall be required to take cognizance of and comply with all requirements set forth in the Federal Requirements, attached hereto as Exhibit “C,” and incorporated herein by this reference.

The following sections (1-5) describe in detail the services being requested by the lead operator.

1. Outreach and Engagement (O/E) – Street-based outreach and engagement is essential to building relationships based on trust and respect between the clients and Agencies and is a key step toward accepting services that will eventually lead to housing stability. O/E will serve unsheltered homeless within the City. O/E is conducted primarily in the field, in areas where unsheltered homeless are known to live and spend time, including and not limited to encampments, streets, under bridges, overpasses, parks, centers, and in isolated areas.

• Implement best practices designed to engage unsheltered homeless, e.g., outreach techniques, motivational interviewing, multi-disciplinary team approach, law enforcement partnerships.
• Build rapport with unsheltered homeless individuals to provide pathways to housing and linkages to other homeless systems and/or mainstream services. • Identify and conduct regular and ongoing outreach to areas where unsheltered homeless people live, such as encampments, streets, under bridges and overpasses, and in isolated areas.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 0D4958F1-2CE1-4DC4-8479-8684E2218F0A

-17-
• Work with and refer individuals and families to services that include Behavioral Health, Physical Health, and other key services.
• Collaborate with other key stakeholders in creating and implementing plans to provide additional services and coordination of services to people living in encampment areas and vehicles.
• Coordinate with other Agencies or City Departments (i.e., Public Works) on an ongoing basis when an encampment clean-up is scheduled. • Maintaining by-name lists for specific areas, individuals, or encampments to assist with coordination of services.
• Provide supplies or other items to assist clients with meeting their basic needs and to build rapport (food, gift cards, socks, glasses, etc.). • Identify immediate needs that require short-term interventions, such as direct assistance for basic needs or emergency calls for urgent medical needs. • Provide transportation assistance to support clients with connecting to services in a safe provider vehicle for staff and clients, properly labeled street outreach. • Document outreach and engagement activities in the appropriate data system.

2. Rapid Response – Rapid Response provides a mechanism for community members to contact homeless outreach staff to strive to make contact and provide support to unsheltered homeless individuals. The goal is to be available to address (not necessarily resolve) issues in a timely manner. The community (merchants, Chamber of Commerce, the public) will have a point of contact number for the Rapid Response Team who will deploy to locations where there are concerns related to homelessness.

Inquiries for rapid response to unsheltered homeless may come from agencies, medical providers, law enforcement, or the community at large. Response to the location must occur within 24 hours, Monday through Friday. It is NOT the expectation that this phone will be answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week nor 365 days a year. Community members will be able to leave a message at this number, with the expectation that phone messages will be monitored Monday – Friday and all inquiries will be responded to in person within 24 hours, and the inquiring party is informed of the status within 72 hours.

• Establish a process (including a dedicated phone number) for receiving (via phone and email), responding to, documenting, and tracking rapid response requests.
• Communicate process for making rapid response inquiries to Agencies, medical providers, law enforcement, stakeholders, and other community members. • Deploy outreach staff to locations of inquiries and make reasonable efforts to make contact and engage with unsheltered homeless households. • Conduct outreach within 24 hours of the request. 24 hours is the maximum response time during Monday to Friday standard business hours. • If contact is made and the client is willing, provide outreach and engagement activities, including all the outreach and engagement services listed above, with an emphasis on attempting to connect the individual to immediate assistance, such as an emergency shelter or other residential settings (detox, residential treatment program, etc.).

DocuSign Envelope ID: 0D4958F1-2CE1-4DC4-8479-8684E2218F0A

-18-
• Maintain documentation of all inquiries and responses and status • Document services in a timely manner.

3. Intensive Case Management – Case Management provides intensive services to a set caseload of individuals, including working with each client to develop and implement a housing plan. Additionally, the Case Manager links and connects clients to other services to meet their needs (physical/mental health, vouchers). The clients are only placed on a caseload once they have been assessed by the Coordinated Entry System.

A caseload size for a full-time outreach worker would typically be 15-20 unsheltered individuals at any given time. Certification of homeless status can be done by OUTREACH TEAM, Police Department Community district officers, Code officers, or City Homeless Services Coordinator. Outreach will also fill out appropriate forms for referred service agencies. The contractor will be responsible for creating an Outreach project with the county Homeless Management Information System (HMIS)also referred to as the Clarity system.

• Apply a client-centered approach (individualized treatment planning), respecting individual strengths and preferences.
• Implement trauma-informed care and harm reduction model. • Work closely with other Agencies (primary and mental health, housing location, etc.) to ensure a “warm transfer” of services once a client is housed or transitions into another program with case management, such as a shelter or residential treatment program.
• Create and implement a client-centered housing plan to assist clients with rapidly and sustainably exiting homelessness.
• Based on each client’s unique needs, link unsheltered clients to mainstream, health, and behavioral health services.
• Work with shelter providers to facilitate temporary housing interventions and ensure clear roles and responsibilities on case plan and permanent housing goals.
• Provide transportation assistance to assist clients with getting to shelter, appointments, etc.
• Maintain knowledge of eligibility and referral/application processes for a wide range of housing resources, including permanent supportive housing (PSH), rapid re-housing, Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing vouchers (VASH), other subsidies/vouchers, senior housing, shared housing, affordable housing in the community, as well as other applicable resources such as detox services, residential and outpatient substance use treatment programs, and long-term care facilities.
• May provide supplies or other items to assist clients with meeting their basic needs and to build rapport (examples include food, gift cards, socks, and glasses).
• Assist clients with completing the application or enrollment processes for housing programs.
• Assist clients in obtaining vital documents (i.e., Social Security, Birth Certificate, and California Identification Card).

DocuSign Envelope ID: 0D4958F1-2CE1-4DC4-8479-8684E2218F0A

-19-
• Identify non-housing-related services that clients are already connected to and coordinate with other Agencies to facilitate access.

Contractor must serve all street-based persons who are experiencing homelessness such as Adults, Families, Veterans and Transitionally Aged Youth (TAY) and make appropriate “warm hand-offs” and referrals to perspective agencies.

Warm hand off meaning the outreach work may transport and aid in making sure participant makes assessment and intake appointments regard to shelter, Drug rehabs, or housing placement, and or family reunifications when appropriate. Within the County of San Bernardino.

Budget will include a set aside budget for family re-unifications for example, Greyhound tickets, Gas Cards or anything deemed needed by mgmt. to get to said location. Only approved when documentation of plan confirmed by receiving family members or friends.

Outreach will build relationships within the City of San Bernardino and referrals consist of

• Maintain case files of case notes on housing plan progress, required documentation for eligibility and housing applications, and current client consent and release of information in a secure location. (Audits will be done by housing staff)
• Document case management activities in the appropriate data system.

4. Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) Meetings – MDTs convey many benefits that include improved health outcomes and enhanced satisfaction for clients as well as a more efficient use of resources and service coordination for team members. Case Conferencing enables Homeless Service providers to utilize a broad array of professional and lived experiences to assess and plan the next steps for a client’s path to housing. Case Conferencing will be held at a minimum of once a month and will be DocuSign Envelope ID: 0D4958F1-2CE1-4DC4-8479-8684E2218F0A

-20-
used to address all clients receiving case management services. The City’s Homeless Services Coordinator will act as a liaison to help facilitate monthly MDT meetings and incorporate local agencies and service providers for added support and resources (i.e., Department of Behavioral Health, Substance Abuse Counselors, Code Enforcement Officers, Police and Homeless Service Providers). In order to ensure shared knowledge and continuity of care throughout the City, the City’s Mayor will participate in MDT meetings. On days when the Mayor is not able to participate an alternate (pre-selected City Council Member) will attend meetings. During MDT meetings, outreach staff will report on each client receiving case management services (and who has signed the applicable Release of Information forms) and present the housing-focused case plan, updates on the progress toward housing, barriers, and challenges. MDT participating agencies (including the City) provide suggestions, resource, and when able provide direct pathways to various services and/or funding mechanism to assist clients and improve collaborative efforts with outreach staff.

• Maintain a collaborative environment with representation at MDT meetings from law enforcement, homeless shelters, Service Agencies, and primary and mental health care.
• Maintain strict confidentiality in case conferencing and follow program confidentiality policies regarding obtaining consent to share information/Release of Information forms.
• Maintain an approved participant list of MDT members and maintain active participation by key partners.
• Facilitate each MDT meeting and take written notes, including all action items and next steps for each client’s housing-focused case plan. • Provide information to clients on the MDT model and obtain consent for case conferencing within the MDT if clients are willing.
• At each MDT meeting: Homeless outreach case manager who provides services to clients presents about each client who is receiving case management. The case manager presents the client’s housing-focused case plan, progress toward housing, eligibility for various housing resources, barriers, challenges, concerns, and needs and can request suggestions or support from MDT-approved participating agencies.
