OHS request for proposals for SaaS services

The Office of Homeless Services (OHS), the Lead Agency for the Philadelphia Continuum of Care — the County’s homeless response system — has posted to eContractPhilly a new Request for Proposals (RFP #21250124154600) from qualified vendors for a web-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).

The Philadelphia Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) is the data infrastructure that is used to collect and store client-level and program-level information about people who are experiencing or are at risk of homelessness, and a critical tool for understanding and improving our efforts to reduce homelessness. OHS is looking for a system that will require minimal customization and will better accommodate the agency’s data collection requirements.

Prospective applicants must attend a pre-proposal meeting on April 28, 2025, at 3 p.m. Local Philadelphia Time.

Proposal application deadline

The application is due by 5 p.m. Local Philadelphia Time on May 23, 2025.

    About Service Connection/Site Clean-up Days

    Office of Homeless Services Encampment Resolution Team (ERT) staff members join the Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual disAbility Services’s (DBHIDS) Homeless Street Outreach Team (Outreach) and the City’s Sanitation Department to conduct *Service Connection/Site Clean-up Days. OHS’s ERT staff schedules and leads service connection clean-ups at various selected outdoor encampment locations in Philadelphia.

    How it Works

    The teams post signs in advance to alert people living in tents, RVs, makeshift shelters, or none at all, on sidewalks, under bridges, in parks, empty fields, lots, etc., of upcoming service days. Each service day, the teams visit the encampment sites to offer individuals services, such as rides to a City intake center where staff can help find shelter space, Stranded Traveler Assistance, behavioral health, drug or medical treatment, and other similar services. The Sanitation Department team further assists by cleaning up accumulated trash.

    * Service days are not the same as formal, encampment resolutions, which, while social services-led, involve many more City of Philadelphia departments and nonprofit partners and follow specific protocols regarding personal property storage, notification, and other requirements.
