This Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) is issued by the City of Houston Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) to solicit applications from multifamily housing developers for financing the rehabilitation of existing multifamily properties or the acquisition and subsequent rehabilitation of existing multifamily properties within Houston's corporate boundaries. The program aims to support the revitalization of affordable multifamily housing that benefits low-to-moderate income individuals. Applicants must demonstrate organizational capacity to successfully rehabilitate and operate multifamily housing. Applications will be evaluated, underwritten, and scored according to predetermined criteria established within the NOFA documentation.

The funding for this program is derived from Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) resources allocated to the City of Houston. Applicants will be assessed based on their ability to meet affordability requirements, project feasibility, organizational experience, and alignment with community development objectives. The NOFA establishes specific evaluation and scoring methodologies that will guide the selection and award process for qualified developers and their proposed multifamily rehabilitation projects.
