Site work and new construction of a residential development in Stuart, Florida. Working plans call for the construction of a residential development.

Martin County is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer. The COUNTY is seeking proposals from organizations with the desire and capacity to develop vacant lots owned by the COUNTY as affordable housing, with the intent of transferring those vacant lots to the organization(s) for such development. These organizations must demonstrate their ability to successfully design, entitle, build, finance, and operate affordable housing units. Affordable housing is defined as housing for which monthly rents or mortgage payments, including taxes, insurance, and utilities do not exceed 30 percent of that amount which represents the percentage of the median adjusted gross annual income for the household categories, as defined below. For renter-occupied housing, this percentage would include monthly contract rent and utilities. The income ranges for the household categories are based on the percentage of median household income for Martin County and are adjusted for household size. The five household categories used to define affordable housing are as follows: o Extremely low-income households: annual gross income does not exceed 30 percent; o Very low-income households: annual gross income does not exceed 50 percent; o Low-income households: annual gross income does not exceed 80 percent; o Moderate income households: annual gross income does not exceed 120 percent; o Workforce housing: annual gross income does not exceed 140 percent. The purpose of this RFP is to provide affordable housing opportunities that will benefit the residents of Martin County, specifically, to expand the variety and number of available units in the Port Salerno Community Redevelopment Area, increase the availability of affordable housing within the COUNTY, and strengthen the economy of the COUNTY's local neighborhoods. Shortlist Confirmed.
