The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) released a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking competitive responses from qualified developers to redevelop property on the Fort Whipple Veterans Administration campus in Prescott to serve as housing for homeless veterans.
The VA will select a developer that may enter into an Extended Use Lease (EUL) Agreement with the VA. The EUL will make available the use of land on which to produce no less than forty units of supportive housing for senior, homeless and at-risk veterans through new construction, as well as the rehabilitation of six former officers’ quarters.
The Arizona Department of Housing has committed to work with the VA’s selected developer to identify and secure financing resources for this project. ADOH has set aside at least $3 million in State Housing Trust Funds (HTF) for construction and a to-be-determined number of VASH project-based vouchers for rental assistance.
Questions are due to the VA before December 10, 2019. Site visits are scheduled for November 6 and November 18 at 9:00 am MST with registration scheduled to start at 8:30 am.
