The project involves the acquisition and rehabilitation of residential properties to create affordable housing units. The scope encompasses site preparation, structural repairs, utility upgrades, interior renovations, and compliance with fair housing standards and accessibility requirements. The project is designed to serve low-to-moderate income households and must comply with all applicable federal, state, and local building codes and environmental regulations. The work includes coordination with local government agencies and adherence to CDBG-specific requirements for community benefit and resident relocation assistance where applicable.

The project is funded through Community Development Block Grant allocations, which are federal funds administered through the state to support community development activities. Pricing and contract terms are subject to prevailing wage requirements as mandated by federal Davis-Bacon Act standards for CDBG-funded projects. The work must be performed by qualified contractors with experience in residential rehabilitation and affordable housing development. The project timeline and specific award dates are contingent upon environmental review completion and state approval of the CDBG application. All contractors must demonstrate compliance with federal fair housing laws, Equal Employment Opportunity requirements, and state-specific procurement regulations.
