Attachment_A_-_Proposal_Submittal_Checklist.pdf

This is a Proposal Submittal Checklist for the City of Tampa's HOME-American Rescue Plan-II (HOME-ARP II) initiative seeking affordable rental housing development. The City is requesting proposals from non-profit and for-profit developers to supply, acquire, rehabilitate, construct, and operate affordable housing for qualifying populations, primarily individuals experiencing homelessness. Proposers must demonstrate proven capacity in affordable housing development and management. The checklist establishes submission requirements and documentation standards that applicants must follow to ensure their proposals receive full consideration for funding. Specific response deadlines, site visit schedules, and bidder conference details are referenced in the primary RFP documentation, though the checklist itself serves as the standardized verification tool for proposal completeness and compliance with all submission requirements.

The HOME-ARP II program provides below-market interest rate loans to successful proposers to support acquisition, rehabilitation, construction, and operations management costs for qualifying affordable rental housing projects. Eligible beneficiaries include people experiencing homelessness and other HOME-ARP II qualifying populations as defined by federal guidelines. The funding is sourced through the City of Tampa's Community Development Block Grant allocation under the American Rescue Plan Act. The proposal submittal checklist ensures that all required documentation, financial certifications, organizational qualifications, and project specifications are included before evaluation, thereby maintaining consistency and transparency throughout the selection process for awarding these competitive funds.
