This is a service / maintenance or supply contract in Chicago, Illinois. Contact the soliciting agency for additional information.
The HACC is willing to award PBV's to D/Os who are committed to providing long-term affordable housing for new construction, units requiring substantial rehabilitation, and existing rental housing. The housing must be developed in accordance with the regulations set forth at 24 CFR Part 983 for PBVs and be consistent with the goals of de-concentrating poverty and expanding opportunities, both economically and in housing quality, as outlined in the HACC's Administrative Plan. The Housing Authority of Cook County ("HACC" or "Authority") is a municipal corporation, formed under the United States Housing Act of 1937, charged with providing decent, safe, and affordable housing for low-income families and individuals. The HACC provides federally assisted tenant-based rental assistance in its Housing Choice Voucher ("HCV") Program. Tenant-based rental assistance allows HCV Program participants to select the type and location of housing; if the family moves, the tenant-based rental assistance moves with them. The HACC's HCV Program serves nearly 14,000 households throughout suburban Cook County, including the elderly, persons with disabilities, and families with children. The HACC has chosen to convert a portion of its tenant-based HCV rental assistance to project- based voucher (PBV) rental assistance where the rental assistance remains with the unit, not the tenant. The HACC's current PBV portfolio consists of over 1,271 units, 1,147 of which are currently under a Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) Contract. The HACC has made commitments to developers for the remaining 124 PBV units. One of the goals of the PBV Program is to expand housing choice for participants in areas of opportunity, meaning areas that promote access to quality schools, employment, transportation, low poverty, low crime rates, and racial/ethnic diversity. The HACC is hereby issuing this Request for Qualification (RFQ) to Developers/Owners (D/O) who are interested in promoting the development of affordable rental housing units in opportunity areas within suburban Cook County utilizing PBV rental assistance. Q/A Cutoff Date: 12/06/2022 02:00 PM CST. The HACC is committed to the goals of de-concentrating poverty and expanding housing and economic opportunities for its participants. Families with children are a priority for the HACC. Research shows that the younger children are when they move to areas with reduced crime, lower poverty, better schools, and a healthy living environment, the more successful they will be as adults. The HACC is also committed to providing permanent supportive housing (PSH) for people with disabilities who may need supportive services to live independently in the community. In offering the PBV assistance, the HACC has two primary objectives: (1) to produce the highest quality rental housing units for low-income families within diverse and healthy communities within suburban Cook County and (2) to promote the stabilization and revitalization of communities within suburban Cook County. The HACC may provide PBV assistance for up to 25% of the units in a property that will be leased to eligible families and up to 100% of the units in a property that will be leased to the elderly and persons eligible to receive supportive services. The HACC is seeking to allocate up to 200 PBVs; of particular interest are larger unit sizes for families and permanent supportive housing (PSH) for people with disabilities. As such, proposals for these types of developments will receive priorityconsideration. The PBV Program should be of interest to D/Os seeking to complete funding for a project or recapitalize an existing project. In addition, this program should also be of interest to those who wish to include a lowincome component in their development in order to satisfy requirements or rating criteria in other governmental assistance programs, such as the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit ("LIHTC") Program. D/Os may submit proposals in response to this RFQ at any time until all the PBVs are allocated or the HACC determines that it is in its best interest to terminate this process. The HACC is interested in working with small businesses and Minority/Women/Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (MBE/WBE/DBE) with demonstrated housing development experience. Proposals for larger unit sizes for families and for PSH will be prioritized for review and selection. The HACC is not prioritizing housing for seniors at this time; however, if a D/O submits a proposal for senior housing, occupancy should not require that all members of the household be at least 55 years of age or older. The HACC has seen an increase in the number of households lead by grandparents or older persons responsible for the care of a younger person or a disabled person and does not want to exclude these households from potential housing in developments serving people at least 55 years of age. The HACC understands that the Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA) permits owners to restrict occupancy based on age, but it also permits owners to set occupancy requirements that allow at least one person in each unit to be a specific age or to have an 80/20 designation where only 80% of the units must be occupied by at least one person over a specific age. If a D/O submits a proposal for senior housing, the D/O may require that 100% of the units be occupied by at least one person over a specific age, but may not require that all occupants in all units be at least 55 years of age or older. Proposals that require a specific age restriction for all occupants will not be considered. The D/O must address this in the proposal when describing the type of housing or the proposal will not be considered. The HACC will evaluate, within a reasonable time period, all proposals received. A decision will be made to accept or reject the proposal and the Proposer will be notified accordingly. Approved proposals must have the units completed and the Housing Assistance Payments contract executed within two years of the award. Commitments for PBVs are contingent upon appropriations authorized by the Congress of the United States of America, the HACC's fiscal budget authority, and voucher utilization capacity. This procurement process has been designed to allow the HACC and D/Os, to the greatest extent possible, to refine a development proposal that is viable and meets the requirements under 24 CFR Part 983. All D/Os are expected to understand all the provisions of the PBV Program, including the environmental review and subsidy layering review processes. HUD provides the funding for PBVs; therefore, the utilization of these vouchers must be in compliance with all rules and regulations of HUD, the Federal Regulations at 24 CFR Part 983, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS), Davis-Bacon wage requirements, Environmental Protection Agency rules and regulations, HUD's Modernization Design Standards, Federal procurement requirements, and any other applicable state, county, and local laws and regulations. The regulations require that applicants being considered for occupancy must come the HACC's waiting list. The HACC has made a commitment to house people transitioning from institutionalized settings and may allocate 10% of new PBV units for the statewide referral network (SRN). D/Os may not propose that all PBV units will be used to house applicants from the SRN. If the D/O proposes to use a PBV on any of the SRN units, this must be addressed in the proposal or the proposal will not be considered. For additional information about the HACC and our programs, please visit our website. Proposals received in response to this solicitation will be evaluated to determine that they meet the HACC's goal of de-concentrating poverty and expanding housing and economic opportunities for its participants. Proposals that do not meet the requirements set forth in this RFQ may be rejected without further review. Respondents whose proposals are selected will first enter into an Agreement to Enter into a Housing Assistance Payments (AHAP) Contract after specific requirements are met. A Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) Contract will be executed when the units are ready for occupancy and have passed a Housing Quality Standards (HQS) Inspection. This must be within two years of the date of the award. Successful respondents will be expected to comply with the HACC's eligibility and leasing policies. The HACC provides a preference for the homeless in all its housing programs. All PBV developments must offer this same preference. D/O's must consider the barriers to housing that the homeless and extremely low-income people may have when designing the Tenant Selection Plan. The HACC will review and approve the D/O's Tenant Selection Plan prior to the beginning of the occupancy process for the development. No award will be made to any Respondent that is determined not responsible to perform or if suspended, debarred, or otherwise determined ineligible to receive an award by HUD. Prior to award, the HACC will review the proposed Respondent's ability to perform the contract successfully, considering such factors as the Respondent's integrity (including a review of the List of Parties Excluded from Federal Procurement and Non-Procurement Programs published by the General Services Administration), compliance with public policy, record of past performance (including contacting the Respondent's previous clients), and financial and technical resources.
