5-Attachment D-- References.docx

This is a References attachment document for the Ventura County Behavioral Health Flexible Housing Subsidy Pool Operator Request for Proposals in California. The attachment serves as a template for interested bidders to provide professional references demonstrating their qualifications and experience relevant to the proposed work. The document requires applicants to submit three references, with each reference including the organization name, contact information for the reference contact, a description of the relevant project or partnership, identification of staff assigned to the referenced project, and the project dates along with associated dollar values. This reference requirement allows Ventura County Behavioral Health to evaluate the experience and track record of potential operators in managing similar housing subsidy programs and fiscal intermediary functions.

The References attachment does not contain specific pricing information, set-asides, funding amounts, or contract term details, as it functions solely as a qualification documentation tool within the broader RFP process. Bidders are expected to demonstrate their capacity and experience through credible references that illustrate their ability to establish and operate a centralized funding structure for rental subsidies, manage household access to permanent housing, and serve as an effective fiscal intermediary. The strength and relevance of the references provided will be a key evaluation criterion for Ventura County Behavioral Health in selecting the qualified operator to administer the Flexible Housing Subsidy Pool program.
