  "summary": "<p>Washington County, in cooperation with Clackamas County, is requesting proposals from organizations to provide Supportive Housing Services to people experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness in Washington and Clackamas counties. (All references to Clackamas County in this solicitation include both Clackamas County and the Housing Authority of Clackamas County.)</p><p>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. SHS tax revenue is distributed by Metro to Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington counties to invest in local strategies to meet the needs in their communities. The three county governments work in partnership with nonprofit service providers and community-based organizations to implement a continuum of services that help people find and keep stable homes.</p><p>The SHS 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 center the needs of communities and populations that are disproportionately impacted by housing instability and homelessness. All SHS services are expected to be delivered in a manner that is responsive to the needs of different communities, low barrier, and ensures equal access and outcomes. Culturally specific programs and services are prioritized.</p><p>This joint cooperative procurement seeks to qualify organizations (&ldquo;Suppliers&rdquo;) to contract with Washington 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>Outreach and engagement</li><li>Shelter and transitional housing</li><li>Connections to stable housing</li><li>Supportive housing stabilization services</li><li>Wrap-around supports</li></ul><p>This Request for Programmatic Qualifications (RFPQ) is intended to qualify a pool of Suppliers eligible to contract with Washington County and Clackamas County to provide these services beginning in fiscal year 2026-27 and beyond.</p><p>The Counties seek to qualify a range of Suppliers with varied backgrounds and areas of expertise that they can partner with to build a regional system of care, including, but not limited to:</p><ul><li>Culturally specific organizations</li><li>Community-based service providers</li><li>Affordable housing owners and operators</li><li>Outreach organizations</li><li>Shelter and transitional housing providers</li><li>Behavioral health and community health providers</li><li>Providers of wrap-around services and supports</li><li>Faith-based organizations</li></ul><p>No contracts will be issued directly as a result of this RFPQ process. The intent is to qualify Suppliers to be eligible for selection through separate allocation processes to enter into contracts with individual Counties for specific services. Suppliers can choose which of the two 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 June 2026 and lasting through June 2031. 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&rsquo; initial allocation processes will begin on or after July 1, 2026. Additional contracts may be awarded through subsequent allocation processes during the five-year qualification period. All contracts will end on or before June 2031.</p><p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Applicants:</strong></span><strong> </strong>Organizations that previously qualified for the Tri-County SHS Supplier Pool through procurements issued prior to 2025 are required to renew their qualifications in order to be eligible to contract with Washington County and/or Clackamas County beginning in fiscal year 2026-27. Organizations that qualified for the Tri-County SHS Supplier Pool through the RFPQ issued by Multnomah County in 2025 do not need to renew their qualifications. Those organizations are listed in Attachment B. Organizations that have not qualified through previous procurements are also encouraged to apply.</p>",
