The King County Regional Homelessness Authority (KCRHA) is pleased to announce an upcoming Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to identify a pool of qualified agencies to provide the region’s emergency response to severe weather and emergency events for individuals experiencing unsheltered homelessness. KCRHA supports a regional severe weather and emergency event response that includes providing secure and dignified temporary emergency shelters and essential supplies for unhoused individuals seeking refuge from adverse weather conditions (i.e. snow, smoke, extreme heat and cold) and emergency events (i.e. biological, geophysical, intentional, and infrastructural hazards).
Please note: this RFQ process does not involve funding.
