RFP-2026-0109 Englewood South Phase Two Development

Description:  Consistent with its strategic goals and agency mission, it is the intent of Atlanta Housing to enter into a redevelopment agreement with a selected developer to redevelop three vacant blocks in Atlanta Housing’s 30-acre former Englewood Manor public housing site in the Chosewood Park neighborhood on the southeast side of Atlanta, Georgia. It consists of the remaining three “shovel-ready” development pads (referred to as Englewood South Phase Two) on approximately eight (8) acres of land. The purpose of this Request for Proposals (“RFP”) is to identify experienced developers and invite proposals from private sector and non-profit developers with mixed-income development experience and financial capacity to develop.

This solicitation is being issued during the City of Atlanta’s unprecedented affordable housing crisis and will serve to accelerate production of new units of affordable housing that offer quality housing solutions to families and seniors in healthy communities. The need is great and will require aggressive methods of production that can accelerate the delivery of new affordable housing units.

This RFP contains site specific information that is intended for consideration by those firms who plan to participate in Atlanta Housing’s developer evaluation process to determine financial and operational capacity to carry out multi-year, mixed-finance, mixed-use redevelopment on the eight acres of land.

As the sponsor in a public-private partnership, Atlanta Housing is seeking a developer or development team with the capacity, resources and a development program that will advance development on the vacant blocks within eighteen (18) months of the execution of the master development agreement (“MDA”) for the first phase, with limited reliance on Low-Income Housing Tax Credits or other competitive funding that will delay an accelerated production schedule.

Responses to this RFP are due no later than 3:00 p.m., Tuesday, June 16, 2026.

This Addendum, including all articles and corrections listed below, shall become a part of the original Request for Proposals (“RFP”) package and shall be taken into account in preparing your proposal response.

The above-numbered solicitation is amended as set forth below. Vendors must acknowledge receipt of this addendum by signing and completing the attached Addenda Acknowledgement Form. The Addenda Acknowledgement Form must be submitted with the Firm’s response to this RFP. Failure to include the Form in the proposal response may subject your firm to disqualification.

In order to ensure that all firms are given an equal opportunity to submit a competitive response, this addendum serves to communicate changes and provide clarifications concerning the 2023 NOFA Faircloth to RAD Rental Subsidy Program Application.

Change #1- How to Submit your Application.

Update language to remove the 50-unit threshold on page #7.

C. In the event an applicant has multiple strategies and deal terms for a property or cluster of properties, up to the designated 50-unit threshold up to 3 applications detailing the alternative property strategy arrangements may be submitted for evaluation.

Change #2- RAD PBV Rents

Updated language to provide more flexibility on rental subsidy levels on page #10.

1.5

Applicants may request FTR subsidy for all or some of the units in the proposed development. If approved, constructed, and converted to RAD, the initial public housing subsidy associated with the development will be converted to a payment under a FTR HAP contract with AH. Applicants applying for FTR should assume 60% Area Median Income (AMI) rent levels (Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell) for purposes of development budgets. Determination of approved rents will be subject to HUD funding availability and the agency’s budget authority. Access this link for assistance in determining the latest 60% AMI gross rent levels https://ric.novoco.com/tenant/rentincome/calculator/z2.jsp. If the Owner/Developer plans to pay for the utilities, a gross rent will be paid. If the resident will be responsible for paying their utilities, a net rent will be paid, subtracting the utility allowance from the gross rent.

• Assisted units may not be occupied until after RAD conversion. RAD conversion cannot occur until after DOFA, HUD approval of the assisted units as public housing units and the RAD transaction is complete. Subsidy payments for the assisted units under the FTR HAP Contract cannot occur until after the Certificate of Occupancy is obtained and tenant screening and income verification requirements are met.

Notice of Funding Availability Application (NOFA) FAIRCLOTH TO RAD ADDENDUM #1

ISSUE DATE: Wednesday, November 29, 2023

This Addendum, including all articles and corrections listed below, shall become a part of the original Request for Proposals (“RFP”) package and shall be taken into account in preparing your proposal response.

The above-numbered solicitation is amended as set forth below. Vendors must acknowledge receipt of this addendum by signing and completing the attached Addenda Acknowledgement Form. The Addenda Acknowledgement Form must be submitted with the Firm’s response to this RFP. Failure to include the Form in the proposal response may subject your firm to disqualification.

In order to ensure that all firms are given an equal opportunity to submit a competitive response, the following are responses to questions and/or requests for clarification concerning 2023 NOFA Faircloth to RAD Rental Subsidy Program Application.

The Faircloth to RAD program represents a unique opportunity for PHAs, like Atlanta Housing, to create new affordable units through its existing Faircloth authority. This strategy allows for the redevelopment of previously demolished affordable public housing units, providing additional operating funds to operate these as safe, decent, sanitary, and affordable units for low-income families.

This session will dive into the details of the NOFA (Notice of Funding Availability) for this program. It aims to support the construction of new affordable units, potentially through multiple awards.

We encourage all interested individuals, especially potential applicants, community partners, and stakeholders in affordable housing, to attend this session. It will be an excellent opportunity to understand the application process, funding availability, and strategic needs of the Faircloth to RAD program.

Together, we can take significant strides towards enhancing affordable housing options to the community.

Notice of Funding Availability Application (NOFA) FAIRCLOTH TO RAD

Purpose:  Utilizing its Moving to Work (“MTW”) funding authority and flexibility, AH is planning to implement the Faircloth to Rental Assistance Demonstration (“RAD”) Conversion Strategy to develop new affordable public housing units in replacement of units previously removed from AH’s affordable housing inventory. The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) has developed an innovative path for Public Housing Authorities (“PHAs”) to leverage their existing public housing “Faircloth Authority” to create new rent-assisted housing through the RAD Program. Faircloth to RAD (“FTR”) conversions will allow AH and its development partners more readily access financing for the development of new affordable units. Under the HUD’s Faircloth limit guidance, AH is authorized to redevelop previously demolished affordable public housing units and receive additional operating funds to operate these replacement units as safe, decent, sanitary, and affordable for low-income families. In a Faircloth to RAD transaction, PHAs are allowed to develop public housing units using HUD’s traditional public-housing mixed finance program with pre-approval to convert the property to a long-term Section 8 contract following construction. 1 With early-stage RAD conversions approvals, lenders and investors will have the revenue certainty through familiar Section 8 contracts to underwrite the construction of these projects.  This Notice of Funding Availability (“NOFA”) is a pilot program of AH that will support new affordable units through possible multiple awards. The total number of units will be subject to funding availability and AH’s strategic needs. The Faircloth to RAD subsidy funding is repurposed ACC public housing funding for property operations, maintenance and rental subsidy. Units approved pursuant to this strategy may be subsidized for an initial term up to 20 years and subject to automatic renewal requirements.  For an in-depth review of the of the FTR program please see Attachment A – HUD Faircloth-to-RAD resource Guide.

Application Process and Timeline

Under the current Notice of Funding Availability (“NOFA”), AH is seeking Property Owners/Developers (“Applicants”) of residential units for eligible residents earning up to 80% Area Median Income (“AMI”) who can provide residential units through new construction, existing housing not otherwise subsidized by HUD, or repurposing of other existing buildings and are interested in receiving AH subsidy for their rental units, through either subsidy-only arrangements, or subsidy with a financing and/or investment component. AH will also consider Applicants who can bundle several units in proposed clusters of multiple buildings. If an application is administratively approved, AH must present the application to its Board of Commissioners for approval. Following this Board approval, AH will execute a conditional commitment letter, subject to HUD approval, to provide subsidy for an initial term of up to twenty (20) years with options for possible extensions.  AH anticipates notifying Applicants within 30 days of AH’s receipt of a completed application as to AH’s administrative decision on the application. AH reserves the right to cancel or discontinue its application process for AH rental subsidy at any time throughout the duration of this NOFA if determined by AH, in its sole discretion, to be in the best interest of AH to do so.

Please Note: Timeline may vary if no construction or rehab is anticipated.
