Virginia Beach Releases Request for Information from Nonprofit and Religious Organizations Interested in Making Land Available for Affordable Housing Development

Virginia Beach Housing & Neighborhood Preservation is requesting information from nonprofit and religious organizations that wish to consider making land they currently own in Virginia Beach available for the development of affordable housing. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to create a listing of available land that may be suitable for affordable housing development.

“Part of Housing & Neighborhood Preservation’s mission is to create quality solutions that expand housing opportunities. Affordable housing is a top priority for the City, and facilitating the development of decent, safe and affordable housing opportunities is key to achieving our department’s mission,” says Director Ruth Hill. “With this RFI, we hope to not only gauge the interest among the faith and nonprofit communities in engaging in potential affordable housing development, but to also offer knowledge and the connection to resources to help them get started in this process.”

More details about the RFI and the required response form can be found at VirginiaBeach.gov/HousingRFI. Interested organizations must complete and submit the RFI response form by 5 p.m. on Aug. 14.

For questions related to this RFI, contact Sharon Shoff, housing finance coordinator, at 757-385-5836 or SShoff@VBgov.com.
