Essential Function Bond Development Partners

The Housing Authority of the City of Atlanta (Atlanta Housing) seeks qualified development teams or partners to provide Essential Function Bonds (EFBs) that will fund the acquisition, rehabilitation, or new construction of affordable and mixed‑income housing projects. This is a non‑price‑based solicitation where respondents submit a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) addressing both team capability and a proposed financing strategy. Evaluation is weighted heavily toward development‑team experience (40 pts) and financing‑strategy experience (40 pts), with additional points for clarity, design quality, financial feasibility, timeline, alignment with agency goals, use of agency resources, fee proposal, and community impact. Respondents must meet mandatory prerequisites—including an E‑Verify affidavit, debarment certification, and three notarized certifications—and maintain specified insurance coverages. Submissions are accepted via the Jaggaer electronic portal from July 18 2025 until the closing deadline of December 31 2026. • Provide Essential Function Bonds to finance affordable‑housing projects (acquisition, rehab, or new construction). • Demonstrate extensive experience structuring financing, including LIHTC, HOME/CDBG, and other credit enhancements. • Submit a comprehensive SOQ covering team bios, past projects, financing strategy, design concepts, budgets, timelines, and community impact. • Meet mandatory prerequisites: E‑Verify affidavit, debarment certification, three notarized certifications, and required insurance limits. • Deadline for submissions: December 31 2026 11:59 PM EST; questions must be submitted by July 18 2025.
