Description

The City of Portland, through the Portland Housing Bureau's Rental Services Office, seeks qualified organizations to deliver a coordinated Eviction Legal Defense Program and Right to Counsel Pilot Program. Required services include full legal representation, brief legal advice, pre-filing diversion, support for nonpayment cases, landlord negotiation, and coordination with financial assistance resources. Attorneys providing legal representation must be licensed to practice in Oregon. Proposers may also offer in-court legal services at Multnomah County eviction courts, case management, outreach, and program intake and partner coordination. Services will support tenants in the City of Portland and, at the City's direction, elsewhere in Multnomah County. The City may make multiple awards, with up to $2,500,000 available per year across all awarded contracts and up to four annual renewals. Proposals must be submitted by individual organizations, although subcontracting and potential partnership arrangements may be described.
