Through this Request for Proposals (“RFP”) the Rhode Island Housing and Mortgage Finance Corporation (“RIHousing”) seeks proposals from qualified firms to update the existing Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (“LIHTC”) Compliance Manual (“Manual”). Updates to the current Manual would include The Housing Opportunity through Modernization Act (“HOTMA”) amendments as well as HUD’s new NSPIRE inspection standards. Further, this RFP seeks proposals from qualified firms to expand the existing Manual to include compliance requirements for other federal affordable housing programs such as the PBCA Section 8 program, 811 program, HOME program and the Housing Trust Fund. This would be a collaborative process whereby the successful firm would consult with RIHousing staff to incorporate RIHousing’s existing policies and procedures into an updated Manual. The successful firm must demonstrate direct experience providing expertise, consulting services and technical assistance with respect to the LIHTC program and the federal housing programs listed above.
