THE GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS (DCA) CHIP - FUNDED HOUSING DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

The City of Statesboro Planning and Development Department is seeking a qualified development partner to implement six new construction single-family homeownership units for low-income households. This initiative is funded through the Georgia Department of Community Affairs Community HOME Investment Program and requires the selected partner to manage the full development lifecycle, including site coordination, construction oversight, and administrative compliance. The project emphasizes the creation of high-quality, energy-efficient housing and requires strict adherence to the HOME Investment Partnerships Program Final Rule, HUD regulations, Fair Housing, Equal Opportunity, and Section 3 requirements. Qualified firms must submit their qualifications package by November 5, 2026, consisting of three paper copies and one USB copy delivered to Darren Prather. Evaluation is based on a 70-point scale across seven categories: affordable housing and new construction experience, organizational capacity, financial stability, development approach, partnership experience with income-qualified homebuyers, past performance references from the last five years, and overall responsiveness. Applicants must provide professional credentials, financial evidence, and documentation of Community Housing Development Organization certification if applicable. The City reserves the right to conduct interviews and negotiate final terms with the selected respondent.
