1. BACKGROUND

Raleigh, the capital of North Carolina, is one of the nation's fastest-growing

areas, known for its strong economy, top-tier educational institutions, and

excellent healthcare. Its mild climate, diverse work force and proximity to

Research Triangle Park make Raleigh a great place to live.

As a 21st-century City of Innovation, the City of Raleigh (City) prioritizes

environmental, cultural, and economic sustainability. The City implements

best practices in conservation, land use, and infrastructure to protect natural

resources. The City embraces growth and diversity through policies that

preserve neighborhoods, natural spaces, and cultural heritage for future

generations. The City collaborates with universities, citizens, and local partners

to foster technological innovation, create jobs, and support local businesses.

Committed to transparency and excellence, the City equips its staff with the

skills needed to carry out the duties of the City through transparent civic

engagement and by providing the very best customer service to our

community.

The City of Raleigh Housing and Community Development Department

manages a portfolio of City-owned vacant lots. Many of these lots have been

offered in prior solicitations for affordable housing development but were

ultimately not awarded for various reasons.

Through this Request For Information (RFI), the City is seeking input from

potential developers on strategies to developing these sites for affordable

homeownership and/or rental housing, whether through fee-simple sale or a

long-term ground lease.

The information gathered through this RFI will inform a future Request for

Proposal (RFP) for affordable housing development, and these lots are

anticipated to be included in that solicitation based on feedback received.
