Attachment 2

Homecomings, Inc., (hereinafter referred to as the "Nonprofit Affiliate Owner”) invites responses to this

Request for Proposals (RFP) for a qualified appraiser to prepare property appraisals of various scattered

site multi-family unit apartments, single-family homes, duplexes and quadplexes. Responses to the RFP

are invited from currently licensed California real estate appraisers who possess a Member of the Appraisal

Institute (MAI) certification. The consultant shall also follow the appraisal regulations for new construction

and rehabilitation of scattered site projects pertaining to the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee

(CDLAC), and to the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (CTCAC).

I. OVERVIEW

Homecomings, Inc., Nonprofit affiliate of the Housing Authority of the City of San Buenaventura (HACSB)

proposes to rehabilitate the remaining Public Housing scattered site properties in AMP 4 and AMP 5 by

requesting permission from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Rental

Assistance Demonstration (RAD) RAD application and approval process.

The project is comprised of eight (8) scattered site multi-family apartments and four (4) scattered site

quadplexes with a total of 148 units. The unit-mix for the multi-family apartments consists of one, two, three

and four-bedroom units, and the quadplexes have one, and three-bedroom units. All twelve (12) sites will

be a part of the RAD conversion. Homecomings, Inc. will request the RAD blend program, which will permit

Project-based vouchers at 90% for the units using the HUD Fair Market Rents (FMR) and allow the other

10% for the RAD voucher units.

Homecomings, Inc., is anticipating RAD approval by the end of third quarter of 2026. Homecomings, Inc.,

plans to apply to the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee (CDLAC) tax credit program under a to-be-

formed limited partner. The restricted units will be between 30% and 80% of the area median income (AMI).

The building types are all within a 10-mile diameter from one another. The project is not anticipating any

major ground disturbance during the rehabilitation phase of construction.

II. APPRAISAL SERVICES WE ARE SEEKING

Homecomings, Inc., is seeking an appraiser with extensive familiarity with the City of Ventura real estate

market particularly in regards to the multi-family and residential units. MAI certification is a requirement and

prior experience preparing TCAC/CDLAC and RAD appraisal reports and experience working in Ventura is

highly desirable.

III. EXPENSE ASSOCIATED WITH PROPOSAL SUBMISSION

All expenses involved with preparation of and submission of the proposals to the Homecomings shall be

borne by the Offeror.

IV. HOMECOMINGS OPTIONS

Homecomings, Inc., may, at its sole and absolute discretion, reject any and all, or parts of any and all,

in this RFP or in the proposals received as a result of this RFP. Also, determination of the criteria and process

whereby proposals are evaluated, the decision as to who shall receive a contract award, or whether or not an

VI. CONTRACT

A. General Information

Any firm or individual selected must be willing to execute a Professional Services Contract. The

contract will require that the respondent provide appropriate State and Local certifications/licensing

and meet Homecomings, Inc., Insurance requirements.

B. Term

Time is of the essence in preparing these appraisals, which are required for TCAC to determine if

tax credits will be awarded. The determination by TCAC is essential for the RAD Project to come to

fruition; therefore, we need the appraisals to be completed expeditiously. Additionally, if approved

by HUD and TCAC, and because of TCAC regulations, it is highly likely an updated set of appraisals

will be needed within a twelve-to-18-month period. Homecomings, Inc., expects to enter into an

agreement in February 2026 for the initial appraisals; if the appraisals are thorough and completed

in a timely fashion then Homecomings, Inc., may extend the agreement for the second set of

appraisals.

C. Scope of Work

The scope of appraisal will include, but not be limited to the following:

• Analyze and detail the appraisal assignment and highest and best use of the property.

• Valuations of the land and show the land by acreage and or square footage.

• Valuation of the building or buildings.

• Analyze and detail comparable improved sales, land sales, and rental data as

appropriate.

• Consider and develop the sales comparison and income capitalization approaches to

value. The cost approach will not be presented, however, a hypothetical indication of land

value as if vacant per TCAC requirements will be provided.

• Analyze collected data and synthesize information into appropriate value estimates.

• Prepare a hard copy and email, in adobe PDF format, and a summary appraisal report.

• If HUD approval is received to convert properties to the RAD Program a second appraisal

will be needed.

3. Submissions shall consist of one (1) pdf. copy of the response containing all required
