Move aids plan to double supportive housing development
The NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) is inviting housing developers to submit qualifications for the design and construction of new supportive housing projects. The agency released a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) on July 3, following an announcement made by HPD Commissioner Mathew Wambua at the Network's June conference that an RFQ was on the horizon.
For more information and to read the RFQ, see here.
Developers selected through this RFQ will be invited to submit proposals for the construction of supportive housing on City-owned sites controlled by HPD, the NYC Housing Authority (NYCHA) and the NYC Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC). The resulting projects will serve the City's goal of doubling supportive housing development beginning in the 2013 fiscal year.
Responses to this RFQ are merely for the purpose of qualifying sponsors for the opportunity to be selected for development and are not applications to receive loans or any assistance from HPD.
HPD will host a pre-submission conference on July 24 at 100 Gold Street, Room 1R in New York City at 2:00pm. Organizations are strongly encouraged to attend. All proposals are due in hand no later than 4:00 p.m. on Friday, September 13, 2013.
