The Boston Housing Authority (BHA) is seeking ideas for locations to create new public housing. We want to identify projects that help us meet the following goals:
 

Envision the future of public housing: BHA has not built new public housing in several decades and we see this as an opportunity to reimagine the design and narrative of public housing in Boston. We want to create mixed-income housing communities that invest in resident leadership and ensure long-term affordability.
 

Build new public housing: We want to develop 3,000 new units of public housing across Boston’s neighborhoods. We want to see how different locations, both publicly and privately owned, and types of projects can help us achieve this goal.
 

Promote well-being and opportunity: In addition to stable affordable housing, we know that access to supportive services, educational/career development opportunities, and even play/leisure activities can help communities move from surviving to thriving. We want to explore how different partnerships could foster new opportunities for residents. Complete details, qualification, and submission requirements can be found in the Request for Information for Bids (RFI) package.

Applicants responding to this RFI are required to email their submission to taylor.cain@bostonhousing.org no later than 2:00 P.M. August 07, 2024. The BHA shall not accept nor review Proposals received after the designated submission deadline.

Inquiries regarding this RFI or requests for clarification must be submitted, via email to bids@bostonhousing.org. On or before 2:00 P.M. July 17, 2024. Proposers may submit any questions, clarifications, or requests for further information.
