1. INTRODUCTION

SECTION TWO

PROCEDURES

The 50-in-10 Aﬀordable Housing Initiative reﬂects the City’s commitment to increasing access to safe, decent,

and aﬀordable housing while fostering neighborhood revitalization in West Greenville. This initiative

represents a collaborative eﬀort between the City of Greenville, Pitt Community College, and local partners

to create long-term housing opportunities for low-to-moderate income households.

To support this eﬀort, the city is soliciting proposals from qualiﬁed developers/builders (for-profit or

nonprofit) to develop affordable homeownership units on City-owned land, and provide development

opportunities for individuals who have successfully graduated from the City’s Construction Training

Program. This RFP is designed to identify partners capable of delivering high-quality, energy-efficient homes

that serve households earning ≤ 120% of Area Median Income (AMI).No fewer than 60% of homes should

be sold to households earning ≤ 80%.

The City has a goal to produce a development that fits architecturally into the existing community in which

it is developed while providing mixed income housing opportunities for residents. Proposals will be

evaluated based upon the total proposed construction budget, sales price and profit to the developer.

2. OVERVIEW OF ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS

• For-profit and nonprofit developers/builders.

• Demonstrated experience in affordable housing development.

• Financial capacity to complete the project.

• Attendance at a mandatory pre-proposal meeting.

3. DEVELOPMENT SITES

clearing, including tree and stump removal, plantings to stabilize slopes, replacing curb cuts with curb and
