The City of Lewiston is seeking several proposals from qualified nonprofit organizations to provide supportive services and qualified developers to develop rental units serving households experiencing homelessness or other eligible populations described herein. The goal of these activities is to reduce the frequency and severity of homelessness in Lewiston.
In 2021, as part of the federal government’s response to the pandemic and associated increase in homelessness, Congress provided additional funding to the HOME program, known as the HOME- American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP). HOME-ARP funds came with the caveat and requirement that the additional funds be used specifically to address homelessness in communities. The program is administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Lewiston and Auburn together form the Auburn Lewiston HOME Consortium (ALHC).
The ALHC has received a special allocation of the HOME Investment Partnership Program through the 2021 American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP) in the amount of received $1,700,829. The City of Lewiston’s portion of the allocation is $786,633.
Information related to this solicitation, including any addenda, will be posted to the City’s Community Development webpage at: https://www.lewistonmaine.gov/Doc…/View/14784/HOME-ARP-RFP.
All agencies must have at least one staff person attend the RFP conference to be eligible to submit a proposal. Interested agencies must complete and submit a copy of their entire submittal via email on or before the date and times indicated. MANDATORY CONFERENCE: November 1, 2022, at 10:00 AM via Zoom
