Overview

Summary

The City of Pueblo is soliciting proposals from qualified non-profit organizations to manage the homeless shelter property located in the 700 block of West 4th Street in Pueblo. The City is seeking a shelter operator to manage a dignified residential setting that supports persons experiencing homelessness to successfully transition back to housing stability.

The awarded organization shall manage day-to-day activities, offer case management, perform data collection, and other support services to the homeless population within the City.

There will be a monetary award through this contract of up to $534,489 for the first 12 months of operations. The awarded proposer will be allowed to use the facilities free of charge to provide homeless shelter and services. Additionally, the City will cover basic utility (gas, electric, water, sewer) expenses and provide routine maintenance to the facilities.

Background

Addressing homelessness in Pueblo is a top priority. In the 2023 Point in Time (PIT) count, 359 homeless individuals were recorded in Pueblo County, though this number is likely an underrepresentation. The City is committed to providing these individuals with nighttime shelter, access to meals, various support services, and case navigation and assistance programs.

From 2019 to 2024, the non-profit Pueblo Rescue Mission operated the City’s only overnight shelter for the homeless. In December 2024, the Pueblo Rescue Mission dissolved, transferring its properties to the City of Pueblo to ensure continued service.
