Permanent Supportive Housing Capital Project

The City of New Haven is seeking proposals from qualified for-profit and nonprofit organizations with experience in developing supportive housing units to fund the creation of new supportive housing for individuals and families transitioning out of homelessness. The funding can be allocated toward site acquisition, construction costs, or the adaptive reuse of non-residential properties into affordable, integrated supportive housing with on-site social services. Each housing unit must include essential amenities such as a kitchen or access to kitchen facilities, a bathroom, and storage space for tenants’ personal belongings. The project must be near “shovel readiness,” meaning it should have all necessary elements in place to begin construction promptly, with a preference for projects expected to close within twelve months of application submission. The solicitation, titled "Permanent Supportive Housing Capital Project," is posted under solicitation number 2024-RFP-103, with a response deadline of November 5, 2024. The contract size ranges from a minimum of $3,000, indicating small-scale projects are eligible. The primary contact for this opportunity is Velma George, reachable via email at [email hidden] or by phone at [phone hidden]. Additionally, applicants should be aware of new fees related to EEOC package submissions, as outlined in recent notifications from the City’s Commission on Equal Opportunities, which are mandatory and non-refundable. The overall goal is to facilitate the rapid development of supportive housing units to address homelessness in the community, with the expectation that projects will be prepared to commence construction shortly after funding is awarded.
