HOME-American Rescue Plan-II

The City of Tampa is seeking proposals for the supply and/or development, operations, and management of affordable rental housing for HOME-ARP II qualifying populations. The city is looking for non-profit or for-profit developers who can demonstrate their ability to supply, acquire, rehabilitate, and/or construct, and operate and manage affordable housing developments for people experiencing homelessness and/or other qualifying populations. The proposal should include a detailed budget, project schedule, and information on the proposer's qualifications and experience. The city estimates that up to $2.6 million in HUD HOME funds will be available for awards resulting from this RFP. Some key points to consider include: • The proposal should include a minimum of 10 units reserved exclusively for tenancy by qualifying populations. • At least 70% of units constructed in a HOME-ARP project with HOME-ARP funds should be reserved for tenancy by households in qualifying populations. • The proposal should include information on the proposer's experience and qualifications in developing and managing affordable housing projects. • The city requires that HOME-ARP project funds be used to primarily benefit individuals and families in specified qualifying populations, including homeless, at risk of homelessness, fleeing domestic violence, and low-income households. • The proposal should include a detailed budget and project schedule, as well as information on the proposer's plan for operating and managing the affordable housing units.
