Developmental Evaluator of ARCH Sites

Developmental evaluation to support communities participating in Infrastructure Canada’s Action Research on Chronic Homelessness (ARCH) initiative. Infrastructure Canada (INFC) requires eight (8) Developmental Evaluators or Developmental Evaluation Project Teams (collectively referred to as DEs) to support eight (8) communities participating in the Action Research on Chronic Homelessness (ARCH) Initiative. In theory, there would be one contract per ARCH site for two (2) years, however, if a bidder can support more than one ARCH site with a distinct DE for each site, then the number of contracts could be less than eight (8). The ARCH initiative seeks to: Identify and document persistent barriers encountered by communities to preventing and reducing chronic homelessness; and, Test potential approaches to address persistent barriers and document successes and challenges to preventing and reducing chronic homelessness. This Request for Proposal (RFP) is to establish up to eight (8) contracts for eight (8) sites across Canada, including one geographic area subject to Comprehensive Land Claims Agreements (CLCAs).
