GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The SRS Community Reuse Organization is requesting qualifications for firms to conduct a Comprehensive Housing Study for the Great Aiken/Augusta Region (defined below). Our goal is to obtain information about the type, size, location, and price of housing required to meet the current and future needs of residents living and working in the region. We would like to understand the market forces, planning and zoning regulations, infrastructure, land availability and local barriers that impact housing development. The consultant will provide a thorough analysis and make recommendations as to possible solutions.
BACKGROUND
SRSCRO Overview
The SRS Community Reuse Organization is a private non-profit 501(c)3 established to provide leadership for promoting the common economic interests and benefits of the residents, businesses and industries and to stabilize the economy with balanced growth throughout the five-county region (Aiken County (SC), Allendale County (SC), Barnwell County (SC), Augusta-Richmond County (GA), and Columbia County (GA)) adjacent to the Savannah River Site by assisting:

Regional Overview
While the SRSCRO serves five counties directly, the SRSCRO is partnering with key stakeholders. As a result, our study area for this regional housing study needs to include the following counties.
South Carolina
Georgia
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The Greater Augusta Region is currently seeing significant growth throughout the region. This growth stems from economic development success and key regional assets like Savannah River Site, Fort Eisenhower, and Plant Vogtle. Over the next five years it is estimated that this region will need to fill between 29,000 and 34,000 jobs – new jobs, construction jobs, and backfilling from attrition.
Given the desirability of the region, housing has become a major concern for economic development and major employers. In order to meet the growing job demand in the region, housing will need to be a priority focus.
Goal of the Regional Housing Study
The purpose and goal for the regional housing study is to provide elected officials, regional leaders, developers, real estate firms, and employers with an understanding of the current housing needs, challenges, and opportunities in our current market, while also providing a road map and strategy to meet the regional demand.
The SRSCRO and our partners recognize that each county is unique and can fill the housing needs differently. The ideal firm will be able to provide a regional perspective and a county specific assessment.
The following topics and assessments must be addressed in the final report. This list may not be all inclusive. Additional information is always appreciated.
Each county in the region has its own needs, personality, and growth plan. The final report should provide for future next steps that each county could consider individually, while also providing an overall report and strategy for the region.
Community Stakeholders
There are many groups in the region that need to be included in the housing study process. These groups include, but are not limited to elected officials, industry leaders, economic development, chambers of commerce, developers, realtors, and county leadership. Each stakeholder group is essential to creating a regional and local plan that will be used effectively.
DELIVERABLES
The Consultant will provide a Regional Housing Study document in hard copy and electronic format. The document will include data charts and maps illustrating the analysis of the data and supporting recommendations that are made. In the recommendations, the consultant should include examples from other locations showing where these actions have been successful when possible.
