The Department of Housing (DOH), in collaboration with the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority (CHFA), is inviting a time-limited participation in the second year of its Development Engagement Process (DEP). The 2021 DEP is intended to identify and facilitate the creation of a pipeline of potential projects for future funding opportunities. Projects for new construction, substantial rehabilitation or preservation of affordable housing are invited under this Notice. The Development Engagement Process is based on a modified application of limited scope and content called the Profile. Completion of the CHFA & DOH Consolidated Application (ConApp) is not required to respond to this Notice.
For both DOH and CHFA, respondents should reasonably believe that they will be prepared to deliver a completed CHFA & DOH Consolidated Application within ten calendar months (by March 1, 2022). Interested parties must visit www.ct.gov/doh/ and select the Funding Opportunities page on the DOH website and follow the detailed Requirements and Instructions found on that site to submit a Profile.
The DOH/CHFA Development Engagement Profile should provide a description of the project based on the best available information at the time of submittal. Submissions will be accepted through 4 p.m. ET on June 29. To obtain a unique link for your Development Engagement profile, and to have a ShareFile folder set up for your delivery of exhibits, please send an email to dohchfa_dep_2021@ct.gov no later than noon on June 25 with the following required information: project location municipality; proposed project name; name and email address of property owner; name; firm; relationship; and email address of respondent on behalf of the project. DOH will respond with a link to the Profile form, one chart exhibit not included in the profile and your link to a ShareFile folder.
