LACAHSA

Technical Assistance RFP

Overview

Through this RFP, LACAHSA solicits proposals from qualified organizations seeking to provide technical assistance to support local jurisdictions across one or more focus areas described in this RFP for Technical Assistance: Innovative Housing Solutions to Produce and Preserve Affordable Housing, Protect Renters, and Prevent Homelessness.

Applicants are encouraged to submit proposals for novel projects, approaches and strategies to produce and preserve affordable housing, strengthen renter protections, and prevent homelessness in Los Angeles County — that paired with technical assistance funding will strengthen local ability to scale equity-driven solutions. Applicants may be Eligible Jurisdictions, their member cities, other public agencies, 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations, and for-profit organizations.

Through this RFP, LACAHSA seeks to deploy resources for the Technical Assistance program, which is comprised of three interconnected strategies:

  1. Capacity Building: Build institutional, operational, and knowledge skills within Eligible Jurisdictions, small cities, and partners to design, manage, and adapt programs independently.

  2. Effective Implementation: Accelerate near-term affordable housing production, renter protection, and homelessness prevention outcomes by removing barriers to program execution.

  3. Seeding Innovation: Support pilots that break new ground that demonstrably increase housing production, protect renters, and prevent people from experiencing homelessness — with an initial focus on supporting social housing.

This RFP opportunity provides Technical Assistance funding to implement these interconnected strategies in alignment with the LACAHSA Countywide Technical Assistance Program and Budget. Eligible uses of Technical Assistance funds are designed to provide services, directly or through partnerships with contracted service providers, that support LACAHSA and Eligible Jurisdictions in achieving PPO and RPHP outcomes.
