RFI 2026-81

Clackamas County Health, Housing & Human Services Department is seeking information on potential shelter facilities within Clackamas County under RFI 2026-81, with responses due November 13, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. PST via Bid Locker. This is an information-gathering exercise, not a formal solicitation for bids; it establishes feasibility and criteria for a potential future Notice of Funding Opportunity.

The County is exploring three shelter concepts: village-style facilities, existing buildings adapted for congregate shelters with limited modifications, and existing buildings configured for non-congregate shelters. All facilities must operate year-round and accommodate 40 or more households. Respondents must confirm that proposed sites fall within Clackamas County's Urban Growth Boundary and provide current property values, zoning information, and use restrictions.

Submissions must not exceed 20 pages and include respondent information; facility descriptions with up to 10 photos; shelter concepts with layout details; shelter readiness assessments including modification timelines and cost estimates; and community engagement capacity. Funding for site acquisition flows from the Metro Supportive Housing Services Measure, which is limited to use within the Metro jurisdictional boundary. If a future NOFO is issued and a grant agreement awarded, the successful applicant will record a restrictive covenant or deed restriction limiting property use for shelter purposes for a minimum of 30 years. No preference will be given to organizations responding to this RFI in any subsequent NOFO process. All submissions must be electronic via Bid Locker; email submissions will not be accepted. Contact Procurement Analyst Jaymi Stark at jstark@clackamas.us with questions.
