Successful Proponent for Coordinated Intake Program (Spring 2013 RFP) 

In April 2013, the CHF issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) progress for a new  Coordinated Intake program. This Coordinated Intake program will work to:

• improve the speed, accuracy and consistency of the screening and referral process;
• make it easier to target resources efficiently and accurately;
• support the Systems Planning Framework; and
• support the Homeless Management Information System. 

The CHF received three proposals and chose the Calgary Distress Centre as the successful proponent. The CHF will begin the contract negotiation process with the Calgary Distress Centre. Unsuccessful proponents have been notified and debriefs have occurred.
