AI Contract Overview
The Winter 2027 Affordable Housing Competition for Rental Projects is an open market solicitation issued by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities (HLC) to fund the development and rehabilitation of affordable rental housing. This competitive process seeks projects that prioritize green, carbon-reducing, and climate-resilient design, as well as increased accessibility for persons with disabilities. A critical threshold requirement for all applicants is consistency with the Commonwealth's Sustainable Development Principles and the reservation of at least 16 percent of units for extremely low-income (ELI) households, including those experiencing homelessness. Funding is available through several streams, including State Low Income Housing Tax Credits, the HOME Investment Partnerships Program, the Affordable Housing Trust Fund, the Housing Stabilization Fund, and the Housing Innovations Fund, with specific per-project and per-unit caps. Additionally, approximately 300 project-based vouchers through the Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program and AHVP are expected to be available in late 2029 or 2030. Applications must be submitted via the Housing OneStop system. While the original deadline was December 3, 2026, Amendment 1 extended the final application closing date to January 7, 2027, at 5:00 PM EST. Evaluation is based on a combination of pass/fail gates and weighted factors, including the strength of the development team, financial viability, market feasibility, and the degree of local support. Projects utilizing federal HOME or National Housing Trust funds must comply with Build America Buy America (BABA) criteria and mandatory HUD rehabilitation standards. Awardees are also required to participate in the Housing Navigator platform and adhere to AHVP regulations under 760 CMR 53.
