THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Benton County’s Coordinated Homeless Response Office is submitting a Statewide Shelter Program Regional Assessment and Plan to OHCS that confirms Phase 2 funding will not sustain current shelter capacity, forcing likely bed reductions in FY 2026‑27 without new funds. The County plans to keep current providers, pursue additional local, state, federal, and philanthropic funding, and lean on rehousing programs (ORI, LTRA, Housing 360) to blunt impacts. This creates near‑term opportunities for grant writing, system planning, data, and evaluation support tied to sustaining or reconfiguring the shelter network.
The plan details current shelter inventory, outcome metrics, disparities analysis, and strategies. It highlights need for sustainable funding, data improvements, statewide training, and alignment with Medicaid/behavioral health systems.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will Benton County issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Benton County's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with Benton County before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
