Permanent Supportive Housing Hotel Conversion - Request For Proposals (RFP)
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress passed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA), Public Law 117-2; intended to provide funding for local economic recovery and pandemic response. The City of Baltimore received $641 million in one-time ARPA funding, of which MOHS received $75 million. Of this allocation, MOHS has committed $45,015,988 in funding for building more Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH).
Through this Request for Proposals (RFP), MOHS and the Department of Real Estate are seeking qualified non-profits, for-profits, or joint ventures that will rehabilitate and operate permanent supportive housing at three adjacent City-owned sites (Sleep Inn and Suites located at 300 N. Front Street; Holiday Inn Express located at 221 N. Gay Street; and the parking lot located between these two hotels at 320 N. Front Street). Proposals should include comprehensive onsite supportive services such as individualized service plans, case management services, medical screenings, mental health assistance, and life management skills.
