City of Longmont Requests Letters of Intent for Navigation Services for Adults Experiencing Homelessness in the Longmont Community

The City of Longmont, the City of Boulder and Boulder County are collaborating on a new countywide systems approach for serving adults experiencing homelessness to improve coordination, align resources and ultimately be more effective in helping people achieve stable housing. 

The City of Longmont is requesting Letters of Intent (LOI) from entities that wish to provide Immediate Resolution and Short-term Navigation services for adults experiencing homelessness. Immediate Resolution and Short-term Navigation are intended for people who require limited assistance to resolve their housing crisis and return to stable housing. The City of Boulder will procure these same services for its community and the cities of Longmont and Boulder will work together with selected contractors to ensure services are as consistent as possible throughout Boulder County.
