Request for Proposals - PBV/VASH Housing Choice Voucher
The
Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority seeks to award Housing
Choice Voucher program (“HCV”) project based vouchers (“PBV”) for VASH to a
qualified respondent to develop affordable housing for Project-Based Veterans
Affairs Supportive Housing as detailed in the Scope of Services section of this
RFP.
The Project-Based Voucher program (“PBV”) is a component of IHCDA’s Housing
Choice Voucher Program (“HCV”). IHCDA may allocate up to 20 percent of its
voucher assistance to specific housing units if the owner agrees to either
rehabilitate or construct the units, or the owner agrees to set-aside a portion
of the units in an existing development for PBV-eligible tenants. Rehabilitated
units must require at least $1,000 of rehabilitation per unit to be subsidized,
and all units must meet U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(“HUD”) housing quality standards. Operating a PBV program is consistent with
IHCDA’s Annual Plan, and its goal of deconcentrating poverty and expanding
housing and economic opportunities.
Additionally, these HUD-VASH vouchers are to support homeless
veterans and their families in accessing affordable housing with an array of
supportive services through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The Jesse
Brown VA Medical Center will assist with the project that is awarded funding in
providing support and referrals. The vouchers are being made available from a
set-aside from the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016 (Public Law
114-113), enacted on December 18, 2015, that provided funding for HUD-VASH
vouchers as authorized under section 8(o)(19) of the United Stated Housing Act
of 1937.
IHCDA anticipates awarding up to 75 vouchers selected from
proposals submitted in accordance with this RFP.
