The Needham Housing Authority (NHA) is seeking proposals from planning and development consultants for major modernization and redevelopment of our properties. Includes a possible Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) conversion of Federal properties under the HUD Program; evaluating whether our State properties could be positioned to take advantage of the HUD Section 202 program, in conjunction with other funding programs; identifying possible new sources of funding that may emerge from the federal infrastructure initiatives; identifying other new sources of funding that may be necessary and/or available; assisting with procurement of a development partner; educating NHA Board of Commissioners and Town officials as to the strategies and requirements that may be necessary; making recommendations about tasks and activities to be undertaken; and protecting the rights of current NHA residents.
The RAD and Section 202 related scopes of work are defined separately and can be addressed together in one proposal or a respondent may respond to just one or the other scope of work.
