This document is Appendix A: Required Forms for the Los Angeles County Department of Homeless Services and Housing's Request for Qualifications for Affordable Housing Development. The RFQ seeks Statements of Qualifications from developers interested in joining a qualified developer bench to potentially develop Land Bank Sites throughout Los Angeles County. The County's Land Bank Pilot Program aims to acquire approximately five vacant and underutilized properties, with at least one site in each of the five Supervisorial Districts, to facilitate affordable housing development in areas experiencing or at risk of gentrification and displacement. The Initial SOQ Submission Deadline is September 1, 2026 at 11:00 a.m., with rolling submissions accepted thereafter until the County's needs are met. This RFQ does not solicit proposals for specific sites but rather establishes a qualified developer pool from which the County will draw when individual Land Bank Sites become available for development through subsequent separate solicitation processes.

Developers selected to the bench will be eligible to compete for opportunities to develop individual sites as they are released. The qualification criteria will prioritize applicants with demonstrated experience in designing, building, financing, operating, managing, and maintaining affordable housing developments. Specific pricing terms, funding sources, and financial requirements will be detailed in the required forms included in this Appendix, which prospective developers must complete and submit as part of their SOQ package. The bench selection process establishes an ongoing recruitment mechanism rather than a one-time award, allowing the County flexibility to engage qualified developers as Land Bank Site opportunities materialize over the Pilot Program's implementation period.
