2023 RFP for General Project Based Vouchers (PBVs)

The Sonoma County Housing Authority (Housing Authority), a division of the Sonoma County Community Development Commission (Commission), operates the Sonoma County Housing Choice Voucher Program, funded by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. The purpose of the program is to provide rental assistance to very low-income families enabling them to rent decent, safe and affordable housing. The Housing Authority administers the Housing Choice Voucher program for all of Sonoma County, excluding the incorporated city of Santa Rosa. The program receives roughly $40 million dollars in funding on an annual basis through the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and has an allocation of 2,910 Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV).

The shortage of available affordable rental units in the area has resulted in many low-income people being unable to obtain affordable housing. Because of this, the Commission is issuing this Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking proposals from owners and/or developers for Project-Based Vouchers (PBV) available under the Department of Housing and Urban Development Housing Choice Voucher program. Substantial rehabilitation projects and new construction projects are eligible for consideration.
