BACKGROUND:
In close collaboration with community partners and other San Mateo County organizations, the Human Services Agency (HSA) coordinates homeless outreach program services to engage and stabilize unsheltered homeless individuals and households through consistent outreach to facilitate and/or deliver health and basic need services and secure permanent housing.
On August 9, 2024, HSA issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to identify providers of homeless outreach program services throughout San Mateo County, and LifeMoves was selected as the Northern SMC, Bayside, and Southern SMC region provider and the Countywide dispatch services provider, based on their experience, qualifications, and overall approach as outlined in the evaluation criteria of the RFP.
