The objective of the request for proposals is to seek a professional consultant (the Contractor) to assist the City of Passaic (the City) with administering the Rental Unit Rehabilitation Program (the Program). The City has designed a Rental Unit Rehabilitation Program specifically for homeowners who reside in the primary unit of their multi-family dwelling, but do not income qualify under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding for home rehab assistance to their personal unit. However, under this program should the homeowner agree to rent their additional unit(s) to low to moderate income individuals and/or families for a minimum of 5- years, CDBG dollars can be utilized on a proportionate basis as long as total rehabilitation cost paid is no greater than the units to be occupied by low-income households. The Contractor will be responsible for providing technical assistance to the City's Department of Community Development (CD) on an as-needed basis at CD's request, to implement all of the required activities of the Program which is funded by the CDBG program provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
