Coordinated affordable housing development RFP

Hennepin County offers several capital funding opportunities, as well as other programs, to support housing and development projects throughout the county. To maximize county resources and make the application process more efficient for those seeking funding, the county solicits an annual coordinated affordable housing development request for proposals (RFP) every year. The RFP is typically posted during the first week of January. Programs that may be included in the annual RFP are listed below with more information.

2023 Coordinated Affordable Housing Development RFP

In 2023, Hennepin County offered a Coordinated Affordable Housing Development RFP. Funds available in the 2023 RFP included:

  • Affordable Housing Incentive fund (AHIF) can fund multifamily housing development proposals across Hennepin County. Find more information regarding AHIF on our Affordable housing incentive fund page.
  • HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) can fund multifamily or single-family affordable housing developments, with some geographic restrictions. Find more information regarding HOME on our Federal housing programs webpage. 
  • New this year is the Hennepin Homeownership Assistance Program (HHAP) to support the creation of homeownership opportunities through new construction, homebuyer assistance, and other activities. The RFP included a portion of this fund for capital to support the creation of new homeownership opportunities.

Simultaneous with the Coordinated RFP, Hennepin County hosted an RFP for Supportive Housing Capital funds in 2023.   

A virtual information session for the Coordinated Housing RFP was held on January 11. View a recording of the meeting.  

The current Coordinated RFP round is now closed.
