1 Ryan White Part A FY 2017 Housing RFP RFP Conference Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Published November 23 rd, 2016 Questions related to the Section I: Narrative, Instruction, and Attachments Do we need to provide housing assistance funds to PLWH that are not clients currently enrolled in our agency for services? Can we propose to only provide housing assistance to our case management clients? Answer: Yes, housing assistance must be available to any eligible PLWH regardless of where they reside within the EMA and whether they are actively receiving any other service from the agency administering the program. Clients applying for housing assistance do not need to be enrolled in an agency s case management services in order to be eligible for assistance. Is there a maximum allowable number of times and/or amount that a client may receive for Housing Assistance funds (Rental Startup and Homeless Prevention)? Answer: No. There is no HRSA or Boston EMA limitation on the number of times and/or amount that a client may receive Housing Assistance. However, applicants should factor this into their program model as it relates to sustainability, both for the recipient of those funds and for the agency implementing the assistance. For this procurement and these particular types of housing services, will BPHC create intake, assessment, reassessment, and ISP tools for agencies to use? Answer: No, not at this point. As an applicant proposing to provide services, it is helpful to describe any existing tools used by your agency that you may draw upon for a housing tool. Please keep in mind that these tools cannot be the same as medical case management tools, because medical case management tools do not ask the same level of detail for housing needs as what is asked under this proposal. Can the assessment, reassessment and ISP tools used for housing advocacy and/or the housing assistance services be integrated as part of the medical case management tools an agency uses or should they be standalone? Answer: Assessment tools should be standalone. Not every client who wants housing services needs medical case management. Providers must target the questions around housing. If you want to conduct a more comprehensive evaluation of a client s medical needs, you can refer them to a primary care medical provider or medical case management service. If you have an existing medical case management program at your agency funded by Part A, you can be strategic in how you can shorten the amount of time needed to conduct a housing assessment. However, it does not replace a medical case management assessment. Please distinguish how these tools and processes will be separate and distinct in your proposal. 1

2 Ryan White Part A FY 2017 Housing RFP RFP Conference Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Published November 23 rd, 2016 If a client is involved with the criminal justice system and is not currently incarcerated, is he or she eligible to receive Part A funded housing services? Also, can the client be served after being incarcerated? Answer: Yes, you may serve clients who are involved with the criminal justice system, but who are not currently incarcerated. However, when clients are incarcerated, Part A services may not be provided to those individuals until they are released. Ryan White services and funding may not be used for PLWH who are currently incarcerated. For sober houses, if there is a lease associated with the sober housing, does that make it standard housing and therefore eligible for Housing Assistance? Answer: As long as it is not a unit that is owned or managed by the agency that is applying for the funding. We cannot provide finding that goes back to your own agency. The funding must be for an external unit. Can Rental Assistance funds (Rental Start Up & Homelessness Prevention) be used to place PLWH presently in shelters and other unstable housing situations into more stable, but transitional housing? Answer: There are no limitations within the RFP on whether financial assistance can be given for transitional housing units. However, this should factor into the program s model and description of cost-effectiveness on whether clients in transitional housing are eligible to receive financial assistance Questions related to the Section II: Application If you are applying for both types of housing services, do you need to submit two separate RFP proposals or one? Answer: You only need to submit one RFP proposal per agency. If you are proposing to do one of the services, you have 25 pages for your proposal (not including the attachments). If you are proposing to do both types of housing services, you have a total of 30 pages (not including attachments). Section II clearly outlines which questions must be answered and which attachments must be submitted for the two types of housing services. For housing assistance, will there be other types of reporting requirements reflecting the work completed beyond what is indicated in the subservices table? Answer: Yes, there are other reporting requirements for data reporting. Intakes, assessments, reassessments, and ISPs are universal requirements for both subtypes of 2

3 Ryan White Part A FY 2017 Housing RFP RFP Conference Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Published November 23 rd, 2016 housing services. If a client is applying to receive Rental Startup or Homeless Prevention funds, they must also complete an intake, assessment (or reassessment), and ISP as a part of the application process. What do you mean by having documented linkages to targeted populations? Answer: Your proposal should demonstrate outreach to clients who are in need of housing. For example, if your program works with clients in a homeless shelter, you should have an MOA or MOU with that shelter. The proposal should demonstrate the applicant s history of working with such agencies that reach clients who are in need of housing services. Can you elaborate on how we should describe a plan to evaluate client s access to the program s services? What is the expected scope for evaluating access to services? Answer: If you are providing housing assistance, this is a measure of how many people are accessing your services but also how many people do not make it through the process to getting appropriate housing services and ultimately housed. This section may also mirror an unmet needs assessment. Unmet needs assessments are a regular part of monitoring evaluation that most agencies engage in. You can also access literature about unmet needs regarding housing for PLWH. Make sure that any evidence you cite is understandable to the audience reading the RFP, especially if you are citing a journal article. Make sure to touch upon how you are assessing the clients that are receiving the exact service(s) you are proposing. If you are proposing to create a new housing program, consider how you would know that these services will reach the people who need it most. Also, review any internal data your agency has, as well as what other agencies and scholarly articles identify as unmet needs for housing services for PLWH. Is there a minimum or maximum amount that needs to be proposed in terms of a budget? Answer: There is no limit to the amount that you propose for a budget. However, if you propose the full amount up for bid that means no other agency would be able to get funded. The reasonableness of your funding request is supported by your budget justification and the narrative that is provided as evidence of why the program needs to be funded at the specified amount. Please note reviewers do not score the proposed amount but rather they score the budget justification that is included as part of the narrative. Is this a one-year budget? Answer: Yes, it is an annualized budget. 3

4 Ryan White Part A FY 2017 Housing RFP RFP Conference Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Published November 23 rd, 2016 For housing assistance, is there a limit or recommended amount of funding allocated to rental assistance versus other costs within the budget? Answer: No, there is no limit or recommended amounts your agency would allocate to financial assistance funds within the budget. It should be described in the proposal, particularly within the budget justification on how the amounts are derived. If you would like to allocate all of your funding to direct financial assistance and no staffing, you would need to describe in your proposal what type of in-kind staffing would be utilized to administer the fund. Can the housing assistance be prorated to the actual amount needed or should the assistance be strictly the equivalent of one month s rent? Answer: That is up to the agency to propose the most appropriate and cost-effective method for providing financial assistance to clients. If a client is only requesting assistance for 2 weeks for rent (a half-month equivalent), the agency may decide whether they are eligible to receive such assistance based on their program model. Please keep in mind that with Housing Assistance subservice, a unit is the equivalent of one month s rent. If your proposal suggests two week increments for assistance to be allocated, then the unit would be reported as 0.5. How do you articulate your methodology for deriving the cost per client? Answer: The most basic method is to take the amount in the budget and divide by the number of clients. However you must include in your narrative why the method you are using is the best method to derive cost per client. Also, evaluate if your cost per client is reasonable by taking into account programmatic costs, administrative overheard, as well as other factors that contribute to increased costs for specialized housing services. This is why there are two separate subservices called applications processed and applications reviewed. The bulk of the cost in housing assistance is not the actual assistance given out to clients in terms of housing vouchers; the administrative costs to review, process, and approve clients to receive that assistance should be described in the narrative. If we intend to propose both housing assistance and housing search and advocacy, we are required to complete two separate target population tables. Does it matter if the client numbers overlap between the two types of housing services? Answer: No. It does not matter if there are overlaps of clients utilizing both services. Tables should represent the total unduplicated clients to be served for that specific type of housing service. 4

5 Ryan White Part A FY 2017 Housing RFP RFP Conference Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Published November 23 rd, 2016 The submission of living wage was not included as part of the submission requirements. Has that been updated? Answer: The Living Wage document is included as an attachment within Section 2. The living wage ordinance only applies to organizations that are in Boston. Do applicants need to describe what e2boston is? Do they need to describe how e2boston is used to inform program decisions? Answer: Yes. You will in some cases also need to provide a description on the terms you will use in your proposal as not all reviewers may be familiar with data systems or specific software used by providers. Operating terms need to be defined such as client level data. If you choose to use the brand name of software such as Logician or Centricity you must explain in your narrative that those are electronic medical records that your agency uses. For the business associate agreement, what date should we put in? Answer: Applicants can write March 1, 2017 within the copy to be included in the application. However, BPHC may require a new form during the contracting process. What types of policies and procedures need to be addressed in application? Answer: Section G (Agency Policies and Procedures) identifies all items that need to be addressed. The narrative should describe how different policies and procedures are enacted and enforced within your agency, particularly with regard to Ryan White Part A requirements. Which years should be included in Table C: Funding Streams? Answer: Based on the fact that many funders and grants use various fiscal years and reporting periods, you are required to report on the three most recent years of funding. FY 2016 represents your current year of funding and you are then also required to include funding amounts for the two prior years. Can we use existing MOUs and MOAs or do we need new ones for the housing program? Answer: The MOUs and MOAs must be current and valid. You may obtain new ones if you need to. As Part A is no longer funding utilities assistance, you must include at least one community action program as a partner with a written MOU or MOA. If you cannot obtain an MOU or MOA from a community action program for the application, you must obtain a 5

6 Ryan White Part A FY 2017 Housing RFP RFP Conference Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Published November 23 rd, 2016 letter of support from a community action program; if awarded a contract, you must then obtain a written MOU or MOA as a condition of award. Regarding MOUs and MOAs, does the requirement still stand if your agency uses internal referrals for utilities assistance? Answer: No, you would not need to obtain an external linkage (MOU or MOA) if your agency qualifies a community action program, you may use your own agency. A community action program is defined as being governed by a board of directors consisting of at least one-third low-income community members, one-third public officials, and up to one-third private sector leaders. Many community action programs are not HIV specific or traditional AIDS Service Organizations. If you have multiple housing advocates in the program, do you need to provide individual descriptions of each housing advocate or can you provide an overall description for all the advocates? Answer: You must provide an individual description of each staff person or position. If it is an incumbent staff person, provide a resume and an individual job description for the position. If you have five housing advocates with the same job description, you only need to provide that job description once and make sure that in your narrative description you include the names of all five housing advocates for the corresponding position. For a new position that does not exist and proposed to be funded through this RFP, include a job description and indicate that the position is to be hired. Other questions Is there a Word version of the RFP that will be posted on the website? Answer: Yes. You can download the Word document at Are there a minimum or maximum number of awards that can be given out? Answer: There is no maximum number of awards. We will fund at least one award for housing assistance and at least one for housing search and advocacy. How will client utilization be tracked and reported to BPHC? Answer: Any agency that receives a contract will report their services through e2boston. For those who are not currently funded by BPHC, e2boston is a cloud-based website where you will be submitting all of your client-level data. This includes client demographic and service 6

7 Ryan White Part A FY 2017 Housing RFP RFP Conference Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Published November 23 rd, 2016 utilization data. Some agencies manually enter their data into e2boston and some import their data. It is expected that agencies report on the subservices identified in Sections I and II, in addition to other reporting requirements included during the contracting process. The letter of intent in the in RFP document is different from the letter of intent in the presentation. Answer: Please use the letter of intent in the RFP application document. Do we need to project how many housing placements we hope to make? How about other subservices? Answer: Yes, you need to project how many temporary or permanent units by subservice you plan to have clients housed in in one year. The target number of units should be included in the required tables in Section II. The only exception to this is how many applications will be rejected if applying for Housing Assistance. On page 10 of the presentation, what exactly does it mean to be in full fiscal and program compliance? Answer: To be in full fiscal and program compliance means you currently do not have any outstanding invoices, outstanding reporting that needs to be submitted, and you do not have any outstanding citations from prior site visits that have not been addressed through an approved Plan of Corrective Action. 7

30 3. Description of Funded Services 3D. Acuity, pgs Applicants must propose a housing service model that prioritizes resources for clients who face the greatest barriers to housing stability and viral suppression. For PLWH with an identified housing need, Housing services should be coordinated and not duplicative of existing social support services, Medical Case Management or Psychosocial Support (Peer Support) services (whether funded by BPHC Part A or through other resources). 23

31 3. Description of Funded Services Successful proposals will be able to demonstrate policies and practices that adhere to the following principles: Housing services are time-limited and should strive to empower clients towards improved selfadvocacy. Clients needs are assessed at intake and no less frequently than at three-month intervals. Clients needs inform staff assignment and caseload size. Clients needs determine the length, frequency, and intensity of staff engagement. Staff engagement is flexible enough to adapt to changing needs, allowing for: - Referral and transition to other types of MCM, PS program or other social support services as broader HIV service needs are identified, - Discharge of clients who meet service goals (e.g. those successfully placed into temporary or permanent housing) and, - Increased efforts for clients with sudden changes to health and housing status. Clients are informed of agency requirements, expectations and resources. Clients are informed of their rights, including refusal of service. 24
