The Clackamas County Housing Authority is dedicated to maintaining safe, habitable, and functional housing for low-income residents across Clackamas County. Its core mission centers on preserving and rehabilitating residential infrastructure through targeted maintenance, repair, and capital improvement services. Strategic priorities include ensuring compliance with health and safety standards, extending the lifespan of aging housing units, and delivering responsive, on-demand services to sustain livable conditions. Key programs focus on urgent repair cycles, preventive maintenance, and facility modernization, with an emphasis on minimizing displacement and maximizing housing stability for vulnerable populations.
The agency procures a broad range of building maintenance and support services, primarily through task-order and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts. These vehicles enable flexible, rapid response to recurring and emergent needs across scattered-site housing portfolios. Procurements are structured to support continuous operations rather than large-scale new construction, reflecting a lifecycle management approach to affordable housing assets.
Primary procurement activity targets commercial and institutional building construction, janitorial services, and finish carpentry work, indicating a strong reliance on skilled trades to address structural, aesthetic, and sanitary needs within occupied units. Exterminating, roofing, electrical, plumbing, and sewage services are also procured as needed to uphold code compliance and resident well-being. The agency consistently engages service providers with proven expertise in residential maintenance, favoring vendors capable of delivering timely, high-quality work under time-sensitive conditions.
As a county-level entity operating under the State of Oregon, the Clackamas County Housing Authority manages a distributed portfolio of housing units without centralized facilities. It functions as a sub-unit of the broader Oregon housing infrastructure framework and relies on standard state and local procurement vehicles, including competitive solicitations and pre-qualified vendor lists. The agency does not utilize set-asides and maintains an open, non-preferential contracting approach to ensure broad vendor access and operational agility.
