Cochise County ("County") issues this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the purpose of selecting a vendor to provide an Affordable Housing Plan for Cochise County Development Services Department. Purpose The Cochise County Development Services Department is seeking statements of qualifications (SOQ’s) from experienced and qualified planning consultants or firms to provide professional consulting services to develop a comprehensive regional Affordable Housing Plan and Housing Investment and Implementation Strategy for Cochise County. This collaborative effort includes the six incorporated areas of Sierra Vista, Benson, Huachuca City, Willcox, Tombstone, and Douglas as well as the unincorporated areas of Cochise County, including Bowie and San Simon. The consultant will analyze current housing conditions, identify housing needs, and identify evidenced based and creative strategies across the housing continuum, both regulatory and non-regulatory, that look to address the current, short-term, and long-term needs of the community. Given that the options may be vast, needs varied, and resources limited, priorities will need to be identified, and recommendations will need to be made accordingly to address them. Cochise County has a lack of quality affordable housing and a lack of construction of new housing units in some of the communities in the County. This Request for Qualifications (RFQ) intends to result in the development of a regional housing investment strategy to aid the County in developing local and regional strategies that will guide the County in making informed policy decisions related to financial investment in housing projects, programs, and initiatives. This effort is supported by the State Housing Trust Fund award, administered by the Arizona Department of Housing.
