Transitional Housing And Support Services.

Clackamas County is seeking proposals for Transitional Housing and Support Services through RFP #2023-101, targeting medium to high-risk post-prison individuals under supervision who are transitioning from correctional institutions or residential treatment back into the community. The procurement solicits comprehensive services including transitional housing, case management, client referrals, intake, orientation, case file management, service coordination, and a mentoring program. Proposers must demonstrate substantial experience and capacity in delivering rehabilitation services to justice-involved populations. The evaluation criteria will assess proposers based on their experience and capacity, agency approach to service delivery, program outcomes, and quality improvement metrics. The RFP requires electronic proposal submission through Bid Locker by January 3, 2024, at 2:00 PM Pacific Time, with a proposed contract term running from the effective date through June 30, 2028, and potential options for two additional two-year renewals. Proposers must provide detailed information on fees, references, and their operational approach to supporting client reintegration.

While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned, the RFP indicates that Bridges to Change, Oregon has been identified as the apparent successful proposer in the Notice of Intent to Award document. The contract does not specify a precise budget range, but the comprehensive nature of services suggests a significant investment in transitional housing and support infrastructure. The county reserves the right to negotiate final contract terms and may revoke the award if the selected vendor fails to execute an acceptable contract. Unsuccessful proposers have a seven-calendar day period to file a protest in accordance with local procurement rules. The solicitation emphasizes a holistic approach to supporting justice-involved individuals, requiring vendors to demonstrate robust case management capabilities, housing placement strategies, and performance tracking mechanisms to support successful community reintegration.
