Writing an Effective Request for Proposal Webinar

SAMHSA's Homeless and Housing Resource Network
Wednesday, August 30, 2017; 2:00-3:30 p.m. ET
The Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) program can only have an impact on addressing homelessness if it has effective providers. Writing an Effective Request for Proposal (RFP) is a critical tool for addressing the desired outcome of reducing homelessness. The first step includes defining the project and specific needs, including what a potential provider will do, when, how, and where. This webinar will provide tips, tools, and suggestions for eliciting proposals that will enhance the ability of the PATH program to meet its goals. Participants will have an opportunity to ask questions, which will be addressed at the end of the presentation, and a link to the recording will be made available after the presentation.
