Legal Services Request for Qualification

Closing Date: March 7, 2018

Aging and Disability Services Division of the Seattle Human Services Department (HSD) is seeking applications for Legal Services. Approximately $191,232 is available from Title III-B of the Older Americans Act.

The purpose of Legal Services is to provide access to the justice system by offering advice and representation related to non-criminal legal issues impacting older adults in King County. The primary goals of Legal Services are to enhance the capacity of older adults and the aging services network to secure and protect essential rights, benefits, and opportunities; to effect favorable changes in laws and regulations affecting older adults; and to develop public and private resources that benefit older adults.

This RFQ is the first step in a two-step procurement process for the selection of one agency to provide Legal Services. HSD may issue a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) should more than one party be found to be pre-qualified through this process. Only those parties who respond to the RFQ, and are pre-qualified through this process, are eligible to apply to a future Legal Services RFP.

The submission deadline for this RFQ is Wednesday, March 7, 2018 by 12:00pm (noon). More information about the applications can be found on HSD’s Funding Opportunities webpage.
