RFSQ Co-Development Partner for Homeownership Development Initiative

The Municipal Housing Authority for the City of Yonkers (MHACY) is soliciting Statements of Qualifications and Proposals for a co-development partner on a Homeownership Development Initiative under a single-award contract with a five-year term, with proposals due June 30, 2026 at 3:00 PM EST. MHACY strongly prefers non-profit developers and local community developers. Selection will follow Qualifications-Based Selection (QBS) procedures; price will not be evaluated in the initial phase.

The scope encompasses development of homeownership properties on parcels MHACY has acquired in partnership with the City of Yonkers. The selected developer must demonstrate expertise in securing layered financing from federal, state, local, and private sources, particularly HUD and New York Housing and Community Renewal (HCR) funding. MHACY will provide Public Housing funds as part of its investment and will actively participate in all aspects of development planning and implementation.

Evaluation criteria are weighted as follows: PHA collaboration (20 points), experience and capacity of the co-developer (20 points), alignment with MHACY strategy (25 points), DBE/WBE/Section 3 and Davis-Bacon Act compliance (15 points), and references (20 points), for a total of 100 points. Respondents must submit the Vendor Qualification Form, Non-Collusion Affidavit, certifications, and references from housing authority executives, state finance agency executives, or community groups. All respondents must comply with federal, state, and local laws, Equal Employment Opportunity requirements, and must not be debarred or suspended entities.

Questions are due June 11, 2026 at 3:00 PM EST. Submissions require one original and one electronic copy (USB format) in a sealed envelope delivered to 1511 Central Park Avenue, Yonkers, New York 10710.
