The purpose of this email is to provide awareness of the Department of Housing & Neighborhood Revitalization's monthly Developer meeting scheduled for Tuesday, November 26, 2024, 2- 4 p.m.
The Department's development division administers the Standing Notice of Funds Availability (NOFA) to promote the development of mixed-income, affordable, attainable, and equitable housing opportunities throughout the City. The NOFA provides increased flexibility to the developer community to access gap financing through available funding sources. Developers may submit applications for affordable rental, for-sale, and housing for persons experiencing homelessness at any given time of the year. As applications are received, they are evaluated by staff, underwritten by a third party, and if recommended for funding, projects are submitted for City Council approval.
To provide ongoing technical assistance and community engagement with the developer community, including minority developers, a virtual meeting is held every 4th Tuesday of each month from 2-4 p.m. The meeting format is held live via Microsoft Teams with Housing staff. This forum provides one-on-one interaction along with a step-by-step explanation of the NOFA application process, scoring rubric, funding sources, eligible expenditures, and City processes.
Also, during this meeting Housing staff will preview recent policy and administrative changes to the Department's Standing NOFA application to promote the development of mixed-income, affordable, attainable, and equitable housing opportunities in equity strategy target areas and citywide. The Standing NOFA provides increased flexibility and equitable access to the developer community to access gap financing through available funding sources.
