Request for Proposals for Grants Management System

The County of San Mateo, Department of Housing (DOH or the “County”) is issuing this Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit proposals from qualified firms or individuals (“Proposers”) to provide a grant and asset management system for the management of federal, state, and local funds as well as department assets, including the full grant, project, underwriting, compliance, and long-term asset management life cycle.

The San Mateo County Department of Housing is made up of two divisions: Housing and Community Development (HCD) and the Housing Authority of the County of San Mateo (HACSM). DOH administers a range of federal, state, and local housing programs designed to expand and preserve affordable housing in one of the nation's most costly housing markets. DOH deploys funding through loans, grants, and other financing tools to nonprofit and for-profit developers of affordable housing. DOH also directly owns a small portfolio of properties and holds long-term ground leases and regulatory agreements on projects it has funded. Some of these properties are under contract for housing development and others are being evaluated for future development. DOH is seeking an end-to-end grants and asset management solution that will accommodate all of these various funding sources and activities.
