Summary: The Justice Advisory Council’s No Place To Stay (NPTS) housing program provides housing for individuals ordered onto the Sheriff’s Office pre-trial electronic monitoring (EM) but who lack sufficient housing where EM could be implemented. These individuals, deemed “No Place To Stay,” would otherwise have to wait in the jail for their pre-trial period to resolve or their electronic monitoring condition of release to be removed. The JAC has retained providers to supply housing and other wraparound services as appropriate for these individuals, with operational support from the Sheriff’s Office and Cook County Health, so they do not have to unnecessary spend that time in the jail.
The JAC is seeking to exercise the first renewal of this set of contracts, pursuant to our RFQ 1205-2104, “Housing Services and Wraparound Supports” with a variety of providers each providing house placements, and some level of wraparound services including set periods of extended stay/aftercare for individuals whose cases resolve but would benefit for some additional days of housing to ensure continuation of helpful services and better re-integration into their communities.
This set of NPTS contracts expanded upon needed services, increased the total amount of beds for the NPTS program, and introduced improved reporting requirements. Renewal of these contracts will allow for continued services. All payments under these contracts are for placements and bed-nights that we actually utilize, i.e. no provider is paid for space that do not use.
HSLH provides housing as well as supportive services in the area of counseling and case management, particularly as it comes to substance use. HSLH provides housing for all genders. HSLH will provide us 75 placements at a rate of $125.00 per day, with up to 10 of those placements being able to be used for up to 90 days of aftercare/extended stay.
