The city has released its request for proposals (RFP) to provide homeless day access services, lockers, and showers downtown, as part of the work of the mayor’s Street Access For Everyone (SAFE) group.

The deadline for submissions is June 18, and the city hopes to get the services rolling by July 1. It’s an ambitious time-line, but will need to be stuck to as Portland’s new sit/lie ordinance comes into effect at the end of June.

In case you happen to be in possession of a spare day access center for about 50 people, either downtown or in the Lloyd District, that the SAFE Oversight group happens to have overlooked [hey, you never know!] I’ve attached the RFP as a word document for you to download and apply right here.
