The North Suburban Consortium (NSC), a group of eight communities in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, is seeking qualified applicants for rental developments to serve Qualifying Populations, such as homeless individuals or those at-risk of homelessness. The City of Malden, as the lead agency, is accepting applications for this $7.3 million HOME Investment Partnership Program American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP) funding opportunity. The key objectives are to provide affordable housing and support services for the target population. Applicants must demonstrate the necessary qualifications and experience to develop and manage these rental housing units. Evaluation criteria may include the proposed project's feasibility, the applicant's capacity, and the ability to meet the needs of the Qualifying Populations. The application period is open from June 14, 2023, with a due date of September 30, 2030.

The NSC has set aside this HOME-ARP funding specifically for rental developments targeting Qualifying Populations, which may include preferences for certain types of organizations. No incumbent vendors or current contractors have been identified. The available funding range is $7.3 million, and the budget will be allocated based on the quality and responsiveness of the submitted proposals.
