Affordable Housing Development for Elizabeth Manor

The County of Ulster (the County) is requesting Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) from organizations capable of constructing and operating an affordable rental housing project on property that the County owns, located at 21 Elizabeth Street in the City of Kingston identified on Real Property Tax Maps as SBL 56.124-1-12) (the “Property”).

The County is focused on supporting the development of housing for low-moderate income households to create units that can accommodate larger families (i.e., 2 and 3-bedroom units), a housing type that is in severely short supply in Ulster County. Responders should demonstrate how they can develop an innovative affordable housing project that takes advantage of the City of Kingston’s Form-Based Code and utilizes creative design and deliberate forethought, so that two- and three-bedroom units can be built and rented at a price point that is affordable to households earning 60% or less of Ulster County’s area median income with minimal State or Federal subsidy.
