Rhode Island is seeking a qualified vendor to develop a comprehensive statewide strategic plan focused on homelessness response. The selected vendor will be responsible for leading a stakeholder-driven process to organize, draft, and deliver a detailed strategy that aligns with both state statutory responsibilities and federal strategic guidance.

Key responsibilities include the development and presentation of a detailed work plan and timeline, establishing a robust data collection methodology, and outlining a stakeholder engagement approach to support the strategic planning process. The final deliverable must present measurable implementation steps, reporting commitments, and be fully supported with relevant data. The vendor will be expected to ensure that all aspects of the plan reflect best practices and are consistent with both federal and state requirements.
