Description

The City seeks concepts that could make housing more attainable, including accessory dwelling units, cottages and starter homes, small multifamily housing, modular or other alternative construction, accessible or multigenerational housing, rehabilitation, and creative financing or ownership models. Proposals may range from an exhibit concept to a potential demonstration home or implementation partnership. Housing proposals should explain the affordability strategy, intended households, housing form, preliminary costs, delivery status, feasibility, needed partners, and requested level of participation. The solicitation also requests visual materials and, where applicable, information about climate response, regulatory pathways, site and infrastructure needs, and unresolved issues. Submit a separate, clearly labeled PDF package for each concept, organized according to the solicitation’s submittal requirements. Appendix A certification and either the Appendix B cost and affordability worksheet or equivalent information are required. The City may select concepts for exhibits, further feasibility work, or demonstration planning, but selection does not award a construction or professional-services contract or commit funding, land, or construction.
