Overview

The Portland Housing Bureau ("PHB") is pleased to release this Request for Qualifications and Development Concepts ("RFQ") for new affordable housing at two PHB owned sites: Mt. Tabor Annex ("Mt. Tabor Site") and NE 102nd and E Burnside ("Burnside Site"). The RFQ will identify qualified teams and development concepts for a regulated affordable rental or homeownership project at the Mt. Tabor Site and an affordable rental project at the Burnside Site. Selected teams will receive predevelopment funding and be eligible for new construction funding consisting of Metro Bond or Gateway Tax Increment Financing ("TIF") resources. Projects identified through the RFQ will help exceed the City of Portland's goals for the Metro Housing Bond and respond to community needs and priorities for the Gateway and the Mt. Tabor neighborhoods. No funding will be available through this RFQ for any other development sites controlled by sponsors.

For more information, please download the complete RFQ, appendices, and forms.
