DGS-SFO-2017-01- Leasing of Bridge Housing Sites for DHS


Thursday, July 6, 2017

On behalf of the District of Columbia’s Department of Human Services (DHS), DGS is seeking multifamily properties to lease in order to provide bridge housing to meet the need for families experiencing housing emergencies. As the District advances the reform of its system of care for families who experience homelessness, there is a need for overflow capacity beyond the city’s inventory of short term housing.

Families in need of temporary housing are District residents who need assistance to obtain permanent housing. DHS seeks to identify sites in Washington, DC which can immediately provide 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom and/or 3 bedroom apartment style living units that are move- in ready for families experiencing an episode of homelessness. Innovative solutions such as renovation, restoration or transformation of an existing space that will address the critical needs are welcomed.
