Bid Number:HOME-ARP Supportive Services RFP
| Description |
| Through this Request for Proposals (“RFP”), the Rhode Island Housing and Mortgage Finance Corporation (“RIHousing”) seeks proposals from qualified firms to deliver eligible supportive services under the HOME-American Rescue Plan Program (“HOME-ARP”) to qualified individuals and families.
The HOME-American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP) program was established through a $5 billion allocation to states and local Participating Jurisdictions (PJs) in the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA). The state of Rhode Island’s $13.5 million allocation is administered by RIHousing. The program can be used to provide assistance to qualifying populations, which include individuals and families experiencing and at-risk of homelessness, by providing rental housing, supportive services, non-congregate shelter, tenant based rental assistance (TBRA), and non-profit operating and capacity building.
RIHousing is targeting the state’s HOME-ARP resources primarily for the provision of supportive services for qualified populations living in deeply subsidized housing developments, and to capitalize the development or preservation of permanent supportive housing.
A Services Provider Agency interested in becoming a HOME-ARP Services Provider must submit a
Proposal in response to the public Request for Proposals issued by RIHousing. Applicants seeking
HOME-ARP Supportive services funds should contact Nivea Linhares at nlinhares@rihousing.com
for a link to unique ShareFile address to submit their application.
Within the proposal submitted through Sharefile, please clearly identify if the proposal is:
(1) part of a financing application for development of new units or preservation of existing
units (that is applying for additional funding through the One Stop Application); or
(2) requesting HOME-ARP funds for an existing development or other program (that is
NOT applying for additional funding through the One Stop Application).
