2009 Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA)
for Preservation and Rehabilitation of
Existing Affordable Rental Housing

(download documents)

 

The City of Oakland Community and Economic Development Agency (CEDA) is announcing a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) to preserve and rehabilitate existing affordable rental housing developments. Approximately $4 to $8 million is estimated to be available from two sources: HOME funds and Oakland Redevelopment Agency Affordable Housing funds. A complete program description and details of the application process are included in the NOFA package.

Note: The State of California's budget take of redevelopment funds may result in a significantly decreased amount of Redevelopment Agency affordable housing funds this year. As of the date of publication of this NOFA, the full impact on housing funds is not yet determined. Please check CEDA’s Housing and Community Development website for updates.


Applications must be received at CEDA’s office no later than 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 22, 2009. The City and Agency reserve the right to suspend, amend, or modify the provisions of the NOFA.

We strongly encourage potential applicants to attend a meeting on the City's employment and contracting programs. The meeting will be held on Thursday, October 1, 2009, at 10:00 AM, in City Hall, Hearing Room 4 (second floor). Time will also be available for general questions and answers on the NOFA.

Should you have any questions or need additional information regarding this NOFA or the City’s housing development program requirements, please contact the Housing Development staff at (510) 238-6173.

The City of Oakland and the Oakland Redevelopment Agency are Equal Housing Opportunity and Accessible Housing providers.
