Notice Details

In December 2018, the Mayor’s Office and the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) released NYCHA 2.0, a comprehensive plan to preserve the city’s public housing. This 10-year plan will bring $24 billion in vital repairs to New York City’s aging public housing and ensure residents have the safe, decent, and affordable homes they deserve. An important strategy outlined in the NYCHA 2.0 plan is to leverage programs of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to preserve existing public housing stock via NYCHA’s preservation initiative called “PACT” – Permanent Affordability Commitment Together. As such, NYCHA is seeking applications outlining the qualifications of applicants’ ability to finance, rehabilitate, facilitate property management, and provide social services delivery to support the conversion of developments from the public housing program under Section 9 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937, as amended, to a voucher platform under Section 8 of the Act pursuant to RAD and the Section 18 and Part 200 disposition process.

This Request for Qualifications (RFQ) enables NYCHA to continue to streamline the PACT procurement process by creating a pre-qualified list of potential partners for forthcoming PACT conversions. Developers, property managers, general contractors, and social service providers are welcomed and encouraged to apply as stand-alone entities. Developer, general contractor, property manager, and social service provider applicants must submit qualifying materials by March 25, 2021 Developer, general contractors, property manager, and social service provider applicants will be notified on April 8, 2021 if they meet the required thresholds to qualify for NYCHA’s pre-qualified list of partners. The list of developer, general contractor, property manager, and social service provider pre-qualified partners will be made available to the public on April 9, 2021. To remain prequalified, existing PACT partners must submit a revised questionnaire to NYCHA as detailed within the RFQ.

The Pre-Submission Conference will be held virtually March 2, 2021 at 12:00 P.M.
