About this file
This is a Project-Based Voucher (PBV) New Construction Application Form issued by the Bethlehem Housing Authority in Pennsylvania for qualified developers seeking to provide newly constructed housing units through the Section 8 PBV Program. The RFP solicits competitive proposals from developers for new construction projects, with the Housing Authority intending to award up to 25 project-based vouchers per project, subject to funding availability and HUD regulatory compliance. Proposals must be submitted electronically via PennBid no later than 5:00 PM EST on July 3, 2026, with all questions due by June 27, 2026. The application requires detailed information regarding the applicant's ownership structure, project specifics including unit counts and unit type distribution, accessibility features, site location data, financing type, zoning status, and project readiness milestones. The form requests distance measurements to amenities such as grocery stores, public schools, libraries, healthcare facilities, and public transit, along with walkability and transportation scores. Target dates for environmental review completion, AHAP execution, construction start and completion, lease-up initiation, and committed financing must be provided.
The application form requires applicants to certify that all information is accurate, that principals are not excluded from federal contracts via SAM.gov, and that all real estate taxes are current within the City of Bethlehem jurisdiction. Applicants must disclose any conflicts of interest under applicable regulations and confirm that distance measurements reflect actual travel distances rather than straight-line calculations. The form indicates that financing type designation—whether the project has received a 9% Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) award from PHFA or not—determines which attachment list must be completed. Only complete and responsive applications will advance to scoring evaluation, and submission does not guarantee PBV award. No specific pricing information, set-asides, or funding amounts are disclosed in this application form; however, the opportunity is available to all qualified developers meeting the stated requirements.
