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.
