RFP - Affordable Housing Developer

The Housing Authority of the City of Hinesville (HHA) is seeking a company, firm, or consulting team to co-develop a Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) converted Public Housing development and new affordable housing as the first phase of the comprehensive development of HHA's transitioned public housing inventory. The site is currently a scattered site which includes four separate parcels of land. This project will be HHA's first venture into mixed-income, mixed-finance affordable housing and the organization anticipates it will be the first of several such re- developments. To begin this effort, HHA needs to engage a quality Georgia Department of Community Affairs-qualified developer to take the lead on re- developing this portion of Cedar Walk (the target site). HHA wants to retain an option to extend the agreement with the selected co-developer for additional phases on this RAD converted public housing site. In 2012, Congress authorized the Rental Assistance Demonstration to test a new way of meeting the large and growing capital improvement needs of the nation's aging public housing stock, as well as to preserve projects funded under HUD's "legacy" programs (Rental Supplement, Rental Assistance Payment, and Moderate Rehabilitation). In addition, HHA may be interested in providing additional opportunities to the selected developer in order to create a coordinated effort to revitalize the greater Liberty County community. The new initial affordable housing development is anticipated to be a multi-family mixed-income development serving people with incomes ranging from less than 30% of area median to 60% of area median income to increase the density of Cedar Walk. The units will qualify for Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, some of the units will receive rent subsidies from a Housing Assistance Payment or be available for market rent. The unit mix and overall number of units will be determined based on the recommendations of the market study and a financial analysis of the best interest of the City of Hinesville, Liberty County (incorporated and unincorporated communities) and HHA. The method of Contractor Selection has not been Determined at this time.
