Requests for Proposals

Affordable Housing Construction Loan: Private developers may apply for up to two project loans at a time with a maximum construction loan of $175,000 per project. Loans will carry an annual interest rate of below the 'prime rate' as reported by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ). The loans shall be due and payable to the City within eighteen (18) months from the date of loan agreement or six months following the issuance of Certificate of Occupancy (CO), whichever occurs first. Applications are received on a rolling bases as funds are available in the revolving fund.
Community Housing Development Organization Projects: The City reserves a portion of its federal funding for Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs) to acquire, rehab, or build new affordable housing (ownership or rental). A CHDO is a private nonprofit, community-based organization that has staff with the capacity to develop affordable housing for the community it serves. To qualify for designation as a CHDO, the organization must meet certain requirements pertaining to their legal status, organizational structure, and capacity and experience. The City will also provide technical assistance for non-certified nonprofits to build capacity to become a CHDO. Read about the RFI in BidSync.

The financing is in the form of a forgivable loan, fully forgiven after 15 years if the owner/landlord meets the compliance terms. Owners/landlords must agree to the terms of the loan, provide temporary relocation of existing tenants if necessary, and enroll in the City’s Landlord Risk Mitigation Fund.
