Behavioral health services for homeless and shelter residents

Solicitation #25-004-BH-SHSS. Issued by Human Services. Pierce County is seeking proposals for delivering integrated behavioral health services to individuals or families who are living in places not meant for human habitation (e.g., streets, vehicles, encampments), and/or residing in emergency shelters or transitional housing, including those fleeing or recovering from domestic violence. Services must be provided to individuals with behavioral health disorders. Projects applying to this RFP should deliver integrated behavioral health services to individuals or families who are living in places not meant for human habitation (e.g., streets, vehicles, encampments), and/or residing in emergency shelters or transitional housing, including those fleeing or recovering from domestic violence, intimate partner violence, or family violence. Proposers must be either a Behavioral Health Agency (BHA) providing shelter and/or housing support services services or a faith-based organization providing shelter and/or housing support services, or a community agency employing licensed behavioral health providers who will provide services under this proposal. If your project is not providing shelter and/or housing support services, please go to the Peer Services, Services for Justice-Involved Adults, Outpatient and Housing Support Services, Wellness, Prevention, and Early Intervention, and/or Youth and School-Based Services RFPs, as applicable. Please see the Solicitations and Competitive Bids page. This procurement is aligned with the Pierce County Behavioral Health Improvement Plan (BHIP), the 2026-2027 Pierce County Council's Behavioral Heath Focus Areas, and Pierce County's 2026-2027 behavioral health funding priorities. All agencies may apply for funding through the Pierce County Behavioral Health and Therapeutic Courts (BHTC) Tax program. Proposed projects that serve more than one geographic area of the county will be given priority. Projects located in the City of Tacoma and serving only Tacoma residents must receive City of Tacoma funding. Pierce County is particularly interested in proposals that leverage partnerships across systems of care; and demonstrate measurable improvements in stability, access, and long-term outcomes for diverse populations, including survivors of domestic violence.
