Introduction This opportunity is limited to firms that successfully responded to the Washington County Supportive Housing Services Request for Programmatic Qualifications (#2021.051PQ) or the Tri-County Supportive Housing Services Request for Programmatic Qualifications (#2021.127-RFP). All terms and conditions of those solicitations apply to this opportunity. 1. Summary Washington County’s Department of Housing Services (DHS) seeks to partner with qualified housing owners to support the creation of 500 project-based permanent supportive housing (PSH) units. DHS will work collaboratively with housing owners interested in creating project-based PSH units in their buildings to develop a customized mix of funding and supports that are tailored to meet the needs of each project. The menu of potential resources available to projects that will produce at least 10 new PSH units includes: Regional long-term rent assistance to make units affordable to PSH tenants; Housing retention case management services matched to each PSH unit through designated contracts with DHS-funded service providers; Resident services funding to support the needs of the building as a whole for buildings that set aside at least 30% of their units for PSH; Funding to cover enhanced building operations for buildings with at least 30% of units set aside for PSH; Gap financing for operating subsidies for qualified projects; Contingency funding to support investor confidence by covering costs for rent assistance beyond the Supportive Housing Services (SHS) program sunset date; Technical assistance funding to support project planning; and Access to a risk mitigation fund for all SHS-funded PSH units. This funding opportunity is only available to organizations that (a) own at least 10 units of housing that will be used to create project-based PSH units, and (b) pre-qualified to contract with DHS as providers of Supportive Housing Stabilization Services through the Washington County SHS Request for Programmatic Qualifications (#2021.051PQ) or the Tri-County SHS RFPQ (#2021.127-RFP). See Attachment A for a list of the pre-qualified organizations. Providers that do not meet these criteria are not eligible to apply but may have an opportunity to qualify for participation in subsequent funding rounds through future RFPQs. Eligible applicants are invited to submit a brief response, not to exceed two pages, describing each proposed project-based PSH project. Proposals will be accepted on a rolling basis. OpenGov requires a set deadline for all applications, so the application process will close every month on the third Friday of the month and then re-open the following Monday. Applications will be reviewed on a monthly basis following the third Friday. Applicants can choose to submit their application at any time; the deadline listed in OpenGov simply reflects the deadline for that month's application cycle. 2. Background Washington County has launched an ambitious strategy to build a countywide system of care to address and prevent homelessness through services and supports that lead to housing stability and equitable outcomes. This work will be funded through resources from the regional Supportive Housing Services ballot measure that was passed by voters in the tri-county metro region in May 2020. The measure authorizes a new regional tax that will generate revenue for implementation of the SHS program from July 2021 through December 2030, with the potential for extension through voter renewal. DHS’s Local Implementation Plan for the SHS program aims to create 1,665 supportive housing placements that combine permanent housing with ongoing supportive services. To achieve this goal, DHS is seeking partnerships with housing owners to help create at least 500 project-based permanent supportive housing units over the next three to five years. 3.
