Thank you for your interest in the VSHSL – Senior Villages (HS 5) RFP!
Please refer to the RFP document in the Library section to see the full RFP details.
Overview:
The Senior Villages Request for Proposals (RFP) seeks to allocate VSHSL funds to community-based organizations to strengthen and expand the array of supports accessible to low-income Seniors, with a focus on Seniors who are at increased risk of housing instability and social isolation.
Senior Villages funded by this RFP will provide culturally responsive services that promote Community Interdependence, offer opportunities for social engagement, and assist Seniors with accessing and navigating senior services and supports available in King County. Senior Villages enable Seniors to receive support in their communities of choice, helping them stay connected and active, thereby potentially delaying or preventing institutional care or displacement from their homes.
