Fair Housing Implementation Council

Organizational Capacity

Describe key personnel of the proposed scope of services. Identify the team members’ areas of responsibility and experience and describe if any hiring needs to be completed to implement this program. Organizations should have the capacity to complete this work without additional hiring.

Qualification & Experience

Provide a description of the organizations’ qualifications and experience to execute the proposed scope of work and provide examples of past work where you successfully implemented fair housing activities. Include any additional pertinent information you may wish to be considered, including references.

Work Plan & Budget

Provide a clear description of proposed scope of work and how it connects to the goals and strategies identified in the 2020 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) (PDF). This should include the number and frequency of activities, proposed methods for implementing the activities and a timeline.

In addition, outline services and breakdown the total costs associated with conducting at least one of the listed fair housing activities in the “Scope of Services,” including the following budget subcategories:

• Professional fees including hourly rates and number of hours worked by person;
• Other direct expenses (equipment, supplied, etc.); and
• Contract labor, if any.

Racial Equity

The proposal should focus on reducing disparities in housing by serving historically disadvantaged people within Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities and other protected classes in the Fair Housing Act. Intentional and inclusive engagement strategies should be designed in partnership with BIPOC communities and should be provided in detail.
