Providers who already qualified for the Tri-County Supportive Housing Services (SHS) Supplier Pool should not submit applications in response to the January 2023 Tri-County SHS Request for Programmatic Qualifications (RFPQ) unless they would like to expand their eligibility to additional counties or service components.
