Specifications include, but are not limited to: The City of Hayward Community Housing Division seeks proposals for professional consulting services to assist the City in developing a Displacement Study (“Study”) that will show the ways in which current Hayward residents may be displaced by current housing market conditions in the City of Hayward and County of Alameda. The study will be used by the City 1) to request a live/work preference for receipt of Measure A1 funding from Alameda County, allowing existing Hayward residents or workers to have priority access to affordable units developed with A1 funding; and 2) to inform the development of the City’s Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for affordable housing development. The study must show the ways in which Hayward residents may be impacted by current housing market conditions in the City of Hayward and County of Alameda. It also must use a racial equity lens to conduct disparate impact analysis, exploring what community groups may be disproportionately and negatively impacted by the current housing crisis facing the City and County.
