Authority News & Updates

This Addendum is intended to clarify the Authority’s goal with regard to Solicitation #23-440-RFP 0004.

With the intention of distributing 200 PBVs between as many properties within specified zip codes as possible, the Authority has opted not to award more than 25% of the total units in a property. If 25% of total units would result in an award of less than four (4) units, the property will not be qualified for this particular solicitation. As stated in Addendum #2, applicants requesting an award for less than four (4) units may be better served by seeking referrals of tenant-based voucher holders to fill any unit vacancies within their properties.

Adding additional units to properties with existing HAP contracts is also not the focus of this solicitation.

 Any question regarding this or any other Addendum or posting regarding this solicitation may be directed to procurement@sfha.org.
