Request for Applications, Proposals and Qualifications (RFA, RFP, RFQ)

HCD administers the Miami-Dade County entitlement’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program and Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program, and on an annual basis advertises a Request for Applications (RFA) for various local entities to support housing and community development activities that meet HUD national objectives. HCD also uses the RFA process to solicit applications for its Documentary Stamp Surtax (Surtax) and State Housing Initiative Partnership (SHIP) funding programs.

A Request for Proposals (RFP) process may be used by HCD to solicit vendors to develop housing and/or commercial developments on county-owned land to benefit low- and moderate-income individuals. Grant funds or loan funds may be provided, depending upon the specific requirements of each project being solicited.

A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process is less common and may be used by HCD to solicit vendors to provide services in response to a specific set of written criteria.

Housing and Community Development (HCD) is providing the 2025 Request for Applications for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG).

The Request for Applications will open on Monday, March 3, 2025, and close on Monday, March 24, 2025, at 11:59 PM. Questions and comments may be submitted in writing until March 10, 2025, to the attention of Lakisha Gray, Chief of Community Development, Housing and Community Development (HCD), 701 NW 1st Court, 14th Floor, Miami, Florida 33136 or via e-mail to: [email protected].

Do you own one to 20 units of existing rental housing that need rehabilitation?

Housing and Community Development is soliciting applications for its Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing (NOAH) Preservation Rehabilitation Loan Program to be funded with Documentary Stamp Surtax (Surtax) Program funds.

Naturally occurring affordable housing refers to unsubsidized privately-owned residential properties that are lower in cost because they are older and in need of maintenance. The NOAH Preservation Rehabilitation Loan Program provides flexible resources for moderate rehabilitation to owners of existing single-family homes, duplexes and small or midsize rental housing in Miami-Dade County.

The goal is to preserve affordability by providing Miami-Dade County’s low and moderate-income households with access to decent housing that is affordable and convenient to jobs, transportation, and essential services. The application remains open until further notice. This application must be submitted online in ZoomGrants.

If you have questions or require assistance, please call HCD at (786) 469-2165 or email [email protected]
