Homeless Prevention Services and Community Partners 
The Housing and Community Development Department administers contracts with nonprofit agencies to provide homelessness prevention services. These contracts partially fund services provided by these agencies to help those who are homeless or at great risk of being homeless find or remain in safe housing. See the websites of the homeless prevention agencies currently receiving City funding for information about these programs and services. 

Homeless Prevention service contracts are funded from local and federal grant sources. Contracted services in the current 2009-10 Request For Proposals (RFP) will include transitional shelter operations, emergency assistance, and emergency shelter operations.   

The RFP is open to prequalified agencies.  Please click on the application link below to review qualification requirements.

An annual RFP will be conducted in the first quarter of 2009 for fiscal year 2009-10 funding. Following the April 16 Community Resource Board meeting, the board will recommend funding amounts to City Council for its consideration in the 2009-10 Annual Budget. City Council will then conduct a public hearing in June, prior to adoption of the Annual Budget.

For information on past program history and funding, read Greensboro Housing and Community Development Department's Study of Homeless Prevention Programs.
 
Greensboro, High Point, and Guilford County leaders support the development and implementation of a Ten-Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness, which is now being implemented. To learn more about community partners who are working to end chronic homelessness, visit Community Partners for Homeless.
