Qualified Affordable Housing Administrator

Fulton County's Atlanta Beltline, Inc. (ABI) is conducting a Request for Qualifications/Proposals (RFQ/P) to secure a Qualified Affordable Housing Administrator for its for-sale homeownership program. The selected firm will be responsible for comprehensive housing program administration, including marketing to income-qualified buyers, verifying eligibility, monitoring compliance, supporting resale processes, and developing long-term stewardship strategies such as land trusts and homeowners' associations. The procurement will utilize a 5-year task order agreement, with the initial project located at 425 Chappell Road. Evaluation of proposals will follow a 100-point scoring system, with 40 points allocated to project understanding and 50 points to project team and experience. Key dates include a virtual pre-submittal meeting on November 19, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST, with Step 1 qualifications due on December 19, 2025, by 1:00 PM EST, and Step 2 shortlist proposals due on January 9, 2026, by 1:00 PM EST. Submittals must be made through the Bonfire electronic platform.

ABI demonstrates a strong commitment to diversity and encourages participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs), specifically targeting Minority and Female Owned Business Enterprises. The procurement establishes a 30% DBE participation goal and requires comprehensive documentation of business enterprise involvement. Contractors must provide evidence of various insurance coverages, including $1,000,000 per occurrence for general and automobile liability, and comply with federal work authorization programs. While specific contract value details are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the housing administration services suggests a significant ongoing engagement. The selected administrator will play a critical role in ensuring homes are sold to qualified buyers and remain affordable, in alignment with Land Use Restriction Agreements (LURAs), and support ABI's broader mission of equitable development along the 22-mile Atlanta Beltline infrastructure project. The procurement emphasizes ethical standards, prohibits conflicts of interest, and requires strict adherence to non-discriminatory practices.
