Developer Services

Solicitation HACB 26-002 is a Request for Qualifications issued by the Housing Authority of the City of Brownsville to identify and select Developer Partners for the development of affordable housing through public-private partnerships. The selected partners will provide comprehensive services including design, construction, legal, financing, and management. This is a qualifications-based process where no pricing is submitted initially; instead, the top-rated proposers will negotiate a Development Agreement following a Memorandum of Understanding. The resulting recommended list of developers may be utilized by the agency for up to three years. Evaluation is based on the highest total score across technical competence and financial stability, with a heavy emphasis on previous experience developing affordable multifamily properties and success with TDHCA awards, specifically 9% and 4% HTCs and tax-exempt private activity bonds. Respondents must submit their Statements of Qualifications as Adobe PDF files by November 30, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. CST. Key requirements include maintaining professional liability insurance of at least 2 million dollars, bodily injury and property damage insurance of 1 million dollars per occurrence, and strict adherence to Section 3 clauses and HUD regulations. The contract is governed by the laws of the State of Texas and applicable federal law.
