Chaffee Housing Authority (CHA) is seeking a skilled facilitator to assist our organization in hosting a series of six listening sessions in Chaffee County during February, March, and April 2023.
The purpose of this Request for Proposals (RFP) is to solicit proposals from experienced and skilled group facilitators. Successful facilitators will provide the following services:
1. Provide leadership, direction, and expert consultation and advice related to the design of the listening session events, the questions asked, and other data collection strategies.
2. Plan and coordinate the details of each focus group event, including reserving appropriate locations and coordinating with CHA staff for participation incentives, such as meals, childcare, and/or transportation. The Chaffee County Housing and Health team can support these efforts.
3. Work with CHA staff and the Housing and Health team to establish marketing, press releases, and direct invitations to the listening session events.
4. Facilitate six listening sessions with the following sectors, with equal representation on the south and north end of the Upper Arkansas Valley within Chaffee County:
- Landlords/Property Managers
- Tenants and First time Home Buyers
- Short Term Rental Owners
4. Provide a written report of input from each sector’s listening session, including prioritized recommendations and/or next steps.
5. Provide deliverables that support and document the work performed throughout the process.
The expected deliverable is a professional written report and oral presentation documenting the listening session participants input on key areas that will inform the Chaffee Housing Authority’s Board of Directors as they evaluate internal programs, processes, and policies through 2026.
