Funding Requests and Requirements
The Alameda County Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) issues an annual competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) for affordable housing development funds each fall. In order to compete for available funding, interested parties must attend a mandatory bidder's conference each year and complete their application within approximately eight weeks.
Proposals are reviewed first for threshold requirements, then rated on specific criteria outlined in the application. Finally, the proposals are ranked in order and funds are recommended. Staff recommendations are made to the appropriate advisory committees. Once a project receives a recommendation, it must then have an Environmental Review completed. All projects are then approved by the Board of Supervisors.
Project Requirements:
Standard requirements for HCD-funded Affordable Housing Development funding can be found in HCD Affordable Housing Development Policies and Procedures (PDF - 503kB)* and in our Term Sheet (PDF - 31kB)*. These policies are updated annually as part of the competitive RFP process. Please ensure you are reviewing the most up to date version.
