Master Leasing Program for the Unhoused with Opioid Use Disorder

The County of Montgomery, Pennsylvania, through its Office of Housing and Community Development, is seeking qualified nonprofit organizations to design and operate a 10-unit Master Leasing Program aimed at providing stable, supportive housing for unhoused single adults with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). This initiative is funded through Opioid Settlement dollars and aligns with allowable strategies that prioritize housing and supportive services for individuals in recovery, particularly those who have recently completed ASAM Level 3.1 clinically managed residential treatment or an ODA-contracted recovery house but lack a safe, stable housing exit. The program must serve individuals with a history of homelessness prior to entering treatment, pairing immediate housing access with integrated OUD-focused services to demonstrate the effectiveness of this model. Proposals must include a detailed plan for program operation, service coordination, and measurable outcomes within a pilot framework, with the solicitation number 26-30 and a response deadline of June 11, 2026. The program will be implemented within Montgomery County, with all activities centered on serving this specific population through a master leasing arrangement that enables rapid placement and sustained stability. The solicitation requires proposers to demonstrate capability in managing housing operations, providing supportive services, and ensuring compliance with all applicable state and federal requirements, including non-discrimination and program integrity standards. Although the document references FAR sections and procurement terminology, the contract does not follow a standard federal acquisition format—instead, compliance elements are embedded in standalone certifications and forms required for submission, such as those addressing debarment status, criminal history disclosures, and affirmative efforts to include diverse small businesses. The evaluation process will be based on a trade-off approach, prioritizing the proposal that offers the best overall value rather than solely the lowest cost, with consideration given to experience, qualifications, key personnel, and the strength of the proposed service model. Bidders must submit electronically through the designated portal, adhere to a 20-page limit excluding required attachments, and provide detailed operational plans, budgets, and evidence of capacity to deliver long-term housing stability. The program’s success will be measured by its ability to retain participants in housing, connect them to recovery support services, and reduce recidivism into homelessness, with funding tied to demonstrable outcomes and adherence to program parameters outlined in the request.
