Housing Development Partnership Capital Investment Project (CIP) Request for Information (RFI)
Welcome! This is our yearly capital housing investment planning request for information (RFI). We invite developers to share insights into potential projects aligning with our city's affordable housing goals. Our RFI received valuable input and helped us estimate a funding requirement of $33.4 million between 2023 and 2028. The RFI is not a direct funding opportunity but helps align our budget planning with the City's affordable housing goals. Please note that the RFI is a tool for understanding 5-year project forecasts and funding gaps. It is not a direct funding opportunity. This proactive RFI approach helps us align our Capital Improvement Plans (CIP), budget planning, and program development strategies with the City's Affordable Housing and Comprehensive Plans and Budget Goals. We encourage you to share your project vision, scope, and potential partnership opportunities with us to help foster sustainable and inclusive housing initiatives in our vibrant community.
