[Massplanners] MassHousing Planning for Housing Production Program and Request for Qualifications for Planning Consultants

[Monica Passeno]

Hello All:

Wanted to let you know about the re-launch of MassHousing's Planning for Housing Production Program.  This program provides cities and towns with the technical capacity needed to implement local planning and transform priority development sites into new affordable homes!

In this program, MassHousing will fund pre-development activities on priority housing development sites by contracting directly with third-party consultants then matching consultants with municipalities based on their respective expertise and local needs. The program prioritizes the reuse and redevelopment of municipally-owned properties; exceptionally positioned privately-owned sites may also be eligible for funding. Grant funds will support predevelopment planning activities that create development-ready sites, including technical assistance with a municipally-led RFP process. In all cases, technical assistance funding will prioritize the robust public engagement needed to build pro-housing constituencies.

Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis. You can find more information or apply here<https://www.masshousing.com/en/programs-outreach/planning-programs/planning-housing-production>!

We are holding a virtual information session on February 28th at 1:00pm. You can register for this information session here<https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwtde-qrzMqGNPukoRT_sp5BSbzIBuTKdGT>.

MassHousing is also accepting responses to a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to re-establish a list of qualified consultants to provide planning technical assistance. The RFQ is available here<https://www.masshousing.com/en/about/rfp>.  Submittals are due by 5:00pm on March 17, 2023.

Thank you,
Monica
