32749 - Housing Development Counsultant.pdf

This is a request for proposals (RFP) document issued by Fellowship Place, a nonprofit organization in Connecticut, seeking a Housing Development Consultant to support the acquisition and renovation of a rooming house in New Haven. The consultant will assist with the purchase of a three-story, wood-frame building that will serve as housing for homeless and special needs individuals, containing approximately 15 individual resident rooms and common spaces. The primary objective is to secure Department of Housing (DOH) affordable housing funding for necessary building renovations and associated project costs. The RFP outlines the consultant's role in navigating the funding application process and project planning stages, though specific response deadlines, site visit requirements, bidders' conferences, and contract award dates are not detailed in the available documentation.

The consultant engagement will focus on preparing applications for state affordable housing funding and developing project budgets and timelines for the renovation work required to bring the facility into compliance with residential standards. Pricing terms, contract duration, and specific scope deliverables are not explicitly stated in the provided summary, though the project represents a significant initiative to expand housing capacity for vulnerable populations in the New Haven area using state funding mechanisms.
