Proposals are requested from qualified professional architectural & engineering teams interested in the design of affordable housing using cost-efficient design and construction principles. Home Forward will accept proposals until 11:00 AM on April 26, 2021. Submittal requirements are described in the RFP. 

Multnomah County and Home Forward have executed an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) to transfer the 3.58-acre site that covers two tax lots to Home Forward for the development of affordable housing. Using a combination of Metro Bond Funds, 4% LIHTC and Bank Financing, Home Forward seeks to develop a combination of approximately 111 units consisting of: studio, one, two-bedroom and potentially three-bedroom units, plus community and property management space. Home Forward will be the developer and owner of the property.

Home Forward intends to select the architectural firm that best demonstrates knowledge and experience of cost-efficient design principles with the ability to work well as part of a project team that can meet cost setting goals. The architecture firm must also have strong graphic, written and oral communications skills, intellectual flexibility, a diverse and highly qualified team of subconsultants, the ability to successfully engage in discussions with the community and ability to navigate the City of Troutdale permit process, an understanding of or experience in designing culturally responsive affordable housing.
