RDA-Administration Fair Housing Services Program

The City of Green Bay's Redevelopment Authority (RDA) is seeking a non-profit organization to administer a comprehensive Fair Housing Services Program through a Request for Proposal (RFP 2025-42). The selected vendor will be responsible for providing fair housing services including enforcement, education, outreach, marketing, training, and technical assistance, with a specific requirement that at least 51% of services target low and moderate-income residents (defined as households earning 80% or less of the Green Bay area median income). Vendors must demonstrate five years of experience with government programs and three years of experience with HUD programs, and maintain professional liability insurance of $1,000,000 per claim with $3,000,000 annual aggregate, along with general liability coverage of $1,000,000. The proposal will be evaluated across five key criteria: organizational capabilities (35 points), staff qualifications (25 points), marketing approach (10 points), references and M/W/DBE participation (10 points), and fee proposal/cost (20 points). Key dates include January 23, 2026, for written vendor questions, January 30, 2026, for addenda issuance, and a proposal submission deadline of 2:00 PM CST on March 5, 2026, with proposals to be submitted to the City of Green Bay Purchasing Department.

The contract is intended to be a three-year agreement with annual program reviews and continuation contingent on funding availability. Funding for the program is derived from Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnership Program (HOME) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The City has secured three years of funding with an estimated annual budget of $30,000. While the RFP encourages M/W/DBE (Minority/Women/Disadvantaged Business Enterprise) participation, it does not appear to have a strict set-aside requirement for such businesses. The RDA reserves significant flexibility in the procurement process, including the right to reject any proposals, negotiate terms with selected vendors, and potentially award all or a portion of the contract to one or more vendors. The projected award notification date is pending RDA approval, and the contract will involve comprehensive fair housing services targeting Green Bay residents with a focus on equitable housing access and support.
