  "summary": "<p>Washington County, in cooperation with Clackamas and Multnomah Counties, is requesting proposals from organizations to provide Supportive Housing Services to people experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness in the tri-county metro region of Washington, Clackamas and Multnomah counties. (All references to Clackamas County in this solicitation include both Clackamas County and the Housing Authority of Clackamas County.)</p><p>The three metro area counties are working to build a regional system of care to address and prevent homelessness through services and supports that lead to housing stability and equitable outcomes. This work will be funded through resources from the regional ballot measure that was passed by voters in May 2020 to create a tri-county Supportive Housing Services (SHS) Program.</p><p>The Supportive Housing Services Program serves people experiencing prolonged homelessness with complex disabilities, as well as people experiencing short-term homelessness or at risk of homelessness. The program is guided by a commitment to lead with racial equity by meeting the needs of Black, Indigenous, Latino/a/e, Asians, Pacific Islanders, immigrants and refugees. All SHS services must be delivered in a manner that is culturally responsive, low barrier, and ensures equitable access and outcomes. Culturally specific programs and services are prioritized.</p><p>This joint cooperative procurement seeks to qualify organizations (“Suppliers”) to contract with Washington, Multnomah and Clackamas Counties (and the Housing Authority of Clackamas County) to provide services to support implementation of key components of the Supportive Housing Services Program, including:</p><ul><li><div class=\"list-item-child\">Outreach and engagement</div></li><li><div class=\"list-item-child\">Shelter and transitional housing</div></li><li><div class=\"list-item-child\">Connections to stable housing</div></li><li><div class=\"list-item-child\">Supportive housing stabilization services</div></li><li><div class=\"list-item-child\">Wrap-around supports</div></li></ul><p>This Request for Programmatic Qualifications (RFPQ) is intended to establish a pool of Suppliers to provide these services. The Counties seek to identify a diverse range of Suppliers that they can partner with to build a regional system of care, including, but not limited to:</p><ul><li><div class=\"list-item-child\">Culturally specific organizations</div></li><li><div class=\"list-item-child\">Community-based service providers</div></li><li><div class=\"list-item-child\">Affordable housing owners and operators</div></li><li><div class=\"list-item-child\">Outreach organizations</div></li><li><div class=\"list-item-child\">Shelter and transitional housing providers</div></li><li><div class=\"list-item-child\">Behavioral health and community health providers</div></li><li><div class=\"list-item-child\">Providers of wrap-around services and supports</div></li><li><div class=\"list-item-child\">Faith-based organizations</div></li></ul><p>No contracts will be issued directly as a result of this RFPQ process. The intent is to establish a pool of Suppliers who will be eligible to be selected through separate allocation processes to enter into contracts with individual Counties for specific services. Suppliers can choose which of the three Counties they would be interested in contracting with for each service type.</p><p>The RFPQ process will be used to identify organizations that currently provide these services as well as organizations that do not currently provide these services but are interested in doing so. It is assumed that some organizations will need capacity building and technical assistance supports as part of their expansion to deliver SHS services.</p><p>Suppliers that are selected under this RFPQ may be qualified for five (5) years, beginning in March 2022 and lasting through March 2027. During that time period, Suppliers will be eligible to be selected through allocation processes implemented by each County for contracts to provide specific SHS services. Any contracts awarded through the Counties’ initial allocation processes will begin on or after March 1, 2022. Additional contracts may be awarded through subsequent allocation processes during the five-year qualification period. All contracts must end on or before March 2027.</p><p><strong>Technical assistance:</strong>Technical assistance with the procurement process, including questions related to the meaning or intent of the RFPQ questions or the technical aspects of proposal submission, is available to all applicants and can be requested through the Question &amp; Answer tab in the OpenGov procurement portal or by emailing suzi_fulcher@co.washington.or.us.
