Temporary Medical Respite Program

Pierce County is seeking proposals from qualified providers to establish a Medical Respite program aimed at supporting low- to moderate-income individuals experiencing homelessness within the community. The program would operate out of a county-owned facility located in Parkland, with the county offering a low- or no-cost lease arrangement to facilitate service delivery. The initial contract period is proposed to be between three to five years, with the possibility of renewal contingent upon the county’s ongoing needs and program success. The county is interested in understanding how potential providers would design and implement the program to effectively address the community’s demand for accessible medical respite care, ensuring that vulnerable populations receive appropriate health and recovery services. The solicitation, titled "Temporary Medical Respite Program," was posted on May 30, 2025, with a response deadline of July 1, 2025. The project is classified as a solicitation with a contract value estimated between $500,000 and $2,000,000. Pierce County, under the Washington State Local Government, is leading the initiative, with Kristy Lysell serving as the primary contact for inquiries. Interested providers can find additional details and submit proposals through the county’s procurement portal.
