The government authority in San Luis Obispo, California seeks a vendor to develop and prepare an updated plan to address homelessness for the next five years. The selected partner will thoroughly review the previous five-year plan to end homelessness and coordinate with stakeholders to assess the current homeless services system, including affordable housing. This assessment aims to identify strengths, gaps, and recommendations for improving efforts to prevent and address homelessness among individuals and families, with an emphasis on unsheltered populations.

The vendor will analyze system performance against established metrics to highlight areas most in need of strategic intervention. They will be responsible for drafting a revised plan featuring clear, measurable, and actionable strategies for reducing homelessness, which will include initiatives for both prevention and rapid transition into permanent housing. Effective collaboration with stakeholders and leveraging existing resources to maximize service and funding efficiency are essential components of this project.

Questions regarding the RFP must be submitted by May 5, 2026, and an onsite pre-bid meeting is scheduled for April 28, 2026.
