RFI 2026-81

Clackamas County, through its Health, Housing and Human Services Department, has issued Request for Information RFI 2026-81 to identify available shelter-ready sites within the county's Urban Growth Boundary. The agency is seeking conceptual information for village-style, congregate, or non-congregate shelters capable of providing year-round overnight accommodations for 40 or more households. Required facility features include safe sleeping areas, on-site restrooms and showers, food access, and staff oversight to maintain a safe environment. For existing buildings, the county is specifically interested in sites where light renovations or modifications can be completed within six months. This RFI is not a formal solicitation for bids or proposals, but responses may inform a future notice of funding opportunity. Funding for site acquisition is planned through the Metro SHS Measure, and any future award would require a restrictive covenant or deed restriction limiting the property's use for at least 30 years. Interested parties must submit their responses electronically via Bid Locker by November 13, 2026, at 2:00 PM. Submissions are limited to 20 pages with a minimum 11-point font and must include respondent qualifications, detailed facility descriptions, shelter readiness assessments, and information regarding any prior community engagement.
