What the bid is for

The County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA), through its Housing and Community Development Services (HCDS) division, is issuing this Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) with the objective of supporting the acquisition, construction, preservation, and rehabilitation of affordable multi-family housing units.

These units will serve households with extremely low (30% Area Median Income, or AMI), very low (50% AMI), and low-income (80% AMI) levels. Financing will be provided through HCDS-administered funding sources, subject to availability. Funding through this NOFA will primarily come from a combination of these sources:

  • Innovative Housing Trust Fund (IHTF)
  • HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME)
  • HOME Investment Partnerships American Rescue Plan Program (HOME-ARP)
  • Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
  • Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA)

Scope

Eligible developments include any acquisition, construction, preservation, and/or rehabilitation supporting the goal of creating or preserving affordable housing throughout the San Diego region.

Proposed developments will be evaluated for their eligibility under all available applicable funding sources. All requirements associated with these funding sources will apply to developments funded through this NOFA. HCDS may allocate different funds than those originally requested by the applicant to meet the funding objectives of HCDS.

Funding made available through this NOFA will include IHTF, HOME, HOME-ARP, CDBG, and PLHA funding, supporting the acquisition, construction, preservation, and/or rehabilitation of multi-family affordable housing throughout the San Diego region.

| **$2.5M** | HOME |
| **$1.5M** | HOME-ARP |
| **$1.8M** | CDBG |
| **$1.2M** | PLHA |

HCDS will enforce an affordability period of at least 55 years or more as required for all developments awarded funds under this NOFA.

Qualified housing developers must demonstrate ability and capacity to:

  • Construct affordable housing developments.
  • Operate and maintain affordable housing developments throughout the project's life cycle.
  • Adhere to all programs' regulatory, statutory, and funding requirements and guidelines.
  • Leverage other funding sources, such as private equity loans from lending institutions, and funds from federal, state and/or local programs.
