RFP-Exhibit D-Cost Proposal.xlsx

This is a Request for Proposal (RFP) spreadsheet from the Washington Health Care Authority (HCA) for Post-IBHTF Transitional Living Housing services. The RFP seeks to provide housing support for young adults discharged from behavioral health settings, with the goal of increasing connections to community housing resources. The contract is structured for a 15-month period starting 3/1/2025, with an option to amend for three additional years contingent on state legislative funding approval. HCA intends to award multiple contracts, potentially at least one for each side of the state, to support young adult housing transitions.

The cost proposal indicates a monthly rate of $78,466, totaling $941,592 annually, with the spreadsheet breaking down costs across categories including start-up, treatment, administration, staffing, program, maintenance, and flexible funding. The flexible funding specifically allows for expenses that help young adults obtain or maintain permanent housing, such as application fees, deposits, rent, employment needs, personal items, and essential documentation. The RFP requires detailed narrative responses explaining cost calculation methodologies, local cost of living impacts, funding strategies, fiscal infrastructure, and operational readiness, with a focus on the organization's ability to effectively implement and sustain the transitional housing program.
