The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (“HPD”) is seeking interested vendors to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) for an upcoming emergency Request for Proposal (RFP) if a firm believes they are qualified to provide the following administrative services to enroll a portion of affected households and associated property owners/landlords under the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) Emergency Housing Vouchers (EHV) program to HPD's HOME-Tenant Based Rental Assistance (HOME-TBRA) program.

To prevent imminent eviction of vulnerable tenants, HPD must immediately enter into an emergency contract with a vendor to accomplish the following tasks by the end of the calendar year:

• Coordinate with HPD and NYCHA to perform tasks outlined below and adapt project timelines or deliverables as needed to remain aligned with evolving HPD guidance and priorities.
• Conduct significant outreach and communications to NYCHA EHV households referred to the HOME-TBRA program by NYCHA and to their associated property owners/landlords.
• Operate a dedicated customer service function to handle inquiries and complaints from participating households and property owners/landlords/property managers.
• Conduct all administrative operations required to enroll NYCHA EHV households in the HPD HOME-TBRA program, including all steps required prior to a property owner entering into the HOME-TBRA Rental Assistance Contract within a target timeframe of 4-5 months.
• Manage and conduct Housing Quality Standards (HQS) inspections for all units associated with referred EHV households prior to lease-up under the HOME-TBRA program. Approximately 1,700 units are expected to require inspection within a target timeframe of 4-5 months.
• Coordinate with HPD to admit households and associated property owners/landlords into the HOME-TBRA program
