Government Relations and Federal Legislative Advocacy

The San Diego Housing Commission is seeking qualified organizations to provide Government Relations and Federal Legislative Advocacy services to support its efforts in monitoring and influencing legislative and regulatory activities at local, state, and federal levels. The Commission's primary focus is on four key policy areas: homelessness prevention and best practices, rental assistance, preservation of affordable housing, and production of new affordable housing. In addition, the policy work is guided by considerations such as ensuring nondiscriminatory practices, addressing regulatory barriers, securing funding commitments, protecting tenants’ rights and preventing displacement, and integrating healthcare solutions with homelessness initiatives. The organization actively engages with elected officials and stakeholders to shape policies that benefit the communities served. The contract, posted under solicitation number BE-25-01, is open to proposals from qualified entities and has a budget range between $500,000 and $2,000,000. The response deadline is March 3, 2025. The project is based in California, with the San Diego Housing Commission acting as the contracting agency. Interested organizations can contact Cassie Li via email or phone for further details and are directed to the vendor portal for additional information. This initiative aims to strengthen advocacy efforts to promote affordable housing and address homelessness through strategic legislative engagement.
