2025-028-7053 - Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) Non-Profit Set-Aside Projects

The purpose of this Request For Proposal (RFP) is to establish a two-year service agreement with fixed pricing for the duration of the contract. Dallas County is seeking proposals from eligible 501(c)3 or 501(c)4 non-profits to utilize: (1) the $98,092.00 in set-aside funds that the County has available from its Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 HOME allocation, (2) $120,691.00 from FY2024 HOME Allocation, (3) $122,841.00 from FY23 Home Allocation, and (4) $122.00 from its FY2022 HOME allocation, (a grand total of $341,746.00) for housing activities described on page 5, under Section B: CHDO Eligible Set-Aside Activities of this document. Reimbursement will be based on qualified expenditures. It is not necessary for a non-profit to be a County certified CHDO prior to submitting a proposal; however, before the non-profit can be awarded funding, the CHDO certification must be obtained within 7 business days of notification. If the vendor cannot be certified within this period, the County reserves the right to consider the vendor as nonresponsive. Once a vendor is considered nonresponsive, the vendor cannot be considered for award. Proposals must align with the goals in Dallas County’s Five-Year Consolidated Plan, specifically increasing the affordable supply of units for home ownership.
