Report 2017-112 Recommendation 12 Responses
Report 2017-112: Homelessness in California: State Government and the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority Need to Strengthen Their Efforts to Address Homelessness (Release Date: April 2018)
Recommendation #12 To: Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority
To expand the number of service providers through targeted technical assistance, the Authority should evaluate the effectiveness of the selected system within 12 months after implementation.
Annual Follow-Up Agency Response From November 2020
LAHSA completed the design and implementation of enhancements for our Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ) and Request for Proposals (RFP) process in the MyOrg System in September 2019. Throughout the past year, these enhancements have proven effective in providing a simpler and streamlined process by which new agencies can apply and be evaluated for certification as a qualified bidder for funding opportunities . Additionally, the enhancements have proven effective in tracking applications received in response to our RFPs by region across the Continuum of Care (CoC) and the reasons for applications failing to achieve a fundable score. Based in part upon the analysis of this data, LAHSA is currently undergoing a Contracting & Procurement Modernization Project (CPMP). The goals of the CPMP are to greatly reduce the time needed to accomplish procurement and contracting, encourage and support the expansion of new providers participating in the system thus creating stability and predictability of funding throughout the homeless services system in the Los Angeles CoC.
