EOHLC is issuing this RFR to identify and pre-qualify individuals and entities with relevant experience to serve as a Chief Financial and Administrative Officer (CAFO), as defined by M.G.L. c. 121B, § 26B and applicable program guidelines issued by EOHLC, at Local Housing Authorities (LHAs) designated by EOHLC as “chronically poor performing”. The role of CAFO will be performed by entities1 that have been pre-qualified in this RFR procurement process by EOHLC. When the need for a CAFO is triggered, EOHLC will then select a pre-qualified entity without additional procurement. Individuals/entities that are not qualified through this process will not be eligible for selection for CAFO. EOHLC seeks to pre-qualify no more than ten entities.
