DHS Requests Contract Extension for Kingsboro Shelter Operations During Redevelopment

DHS is requesting a Negotiated Acquisition Extension (NAE) for Salvation Army in the amount of $21,043,917 for the continued operation of the Kingsboro Shelter, located at 681 Clarkson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203. DHS is requesting a three-year contract extension, covering the period from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029.

This NAE is necessary to maintain shelter services during the redevelopment of the Kingsboro campus, which includes the demolition of two existing shelters one of which is the Salvation Army site and the construction of two new, Not-For-Profit owned shelters.

The State of New York is leading this redevelopment to create a mixed-use campus that will include permanent housing, community facilities, and the new shelters. Breaking Ground, selected through a competitive procurement process, has been awarded the contracts for the two new shelters. One of these contracts is already registered.

The other Construction is expected to begin shortly thereafter, with an anticipated opening date of July 1, 2029. Prior to utilizing the NAE method, DHS exhausted both a Renewal and an Amendment Extension for this contract. Procurement and award are in accordance with PPB Rule Section 3-04(b)(2)(iii) for the reasons set forth herein. Agency: Homeless Services Status: Intent to Award
