In August 2023, the City of Tucson Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) was awarded a $50 million Choice Neighborhood Implementation (CNI) grant from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. Tucson HCD will use the CNI grant to (a) create and rehabilitate more than 600 housing units for low-income households; (b) strengthen and expand supportive services for residents at the Tucson House public housing development, and (c) strengthen local public investments in ‘Thrive in the 05’, a 2.3-mile area that has been targeted for community-based crime reduction. HCD is committed to incorporating resident needs and preferences into the physical design and social and health services provided on-site at the Tucson House. Toward that aim, HCD is issuing this Request for Proposals with the aim of identifying a sub-recipient research team with capacity and expertise to plan and execute the Tucson House Resident Assets and Needs Assessment. HCD will accept applications from not-for-profit research firms, units of state/local government, and institutions of higher education. Applicants may not be suspended or disbarred from doing business with the federal government and must have an active U.S. System of Award Management (SAM) Unique Entity Identifier at the time of application.
