The document mandates that all bidders proposing services related to the Children & Youth Full Service Partnership with High Fidelity Wraparound RFP must select one or more of four service pillars—Prevention, Outreach & Supportive Services, Shelter, or Housing—and provide a written description explaining how their proposal meets the best practices and guiding principles associated with the selected pillar(s). Respondents must initial five acknowledgments confirming their understanding of the Commission's role as an advisory body to the Orange County Board of Supervisors, the collaborative development of the Pillars Report with industry experts and individuals with lived experience, the Board's October 2022 directive to use the framework in program design, the requirement that services demonstrate alignment with the defined standards, and their attestation that their proposal meets the identified best practices. Respondents must sign and date the attestation, acknowledging that they may be required to report and demonstrate adherence to the selected pillar(s) throughout the contract period.
The attestation serves as a mandatory compliance requirement integrated into the broader RFP process, with proposals due January 16, 2026, at 4:00 PM.

Completion and submission of Exhibit X with the proposal response is required for all bidders, and failure to comply with this attestation requirement may impact proposal evaluation and contract award eligibility.

EXHIBIT X
Commission to End Homelessness Homeless Service System Pillars Attestation
Background:
The Commission to End Homelessness developed the Homeless Service System Pillars Report, which includes four pillars – Prevention, Outreach & Supportive Services, Shelter and Housing – that provide key interventions to assist individuals and families at risk of homelessness or experiencing homelessness. The Homeless Service System Pillars Report provides a definition and goal for each pillar thus establishing a collective understanding of the interventions, programming and outcomes expected for each pillar.
Additionally, the Homeless Service System Pillars Report identifies the best practices, principles, and commitments to be followed by each Pillar.
On October 18, 2022, the Orange County Board of Supervisors received the Commission to End Homelessness’ Homeless Service System Pillars Report and also directed the Homeless Service System Pillars Report be utilized as a framework in the design and development of programs that address the needs of individuals and families at risk of homelessness or experiencing homelessness across the County of Orange.
