Project‑Based Voucher (PBV) Program – Phases 1‑5 (2026)

The Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh is soliciting qualified owners/developers to provide Project‑Based Voucher (PBV) assistance for approximately 500 affordable‑rental units across five phases. The solicitation covers existing, rehabilitated, and new‑construction units, with a focus on low‑ and moderate‑income families, “neighbourhoods of opportunity,” and compliance with HUD income‑mix caps, rent limits, and UFAS standards. Applicants must demonstrate experience managing affordable‑housing portfolios, provide detailed financing and construction plans, and meet minority‑ and women‑business participation goals as well as Section 3 hiring requirements. Proposals are due in early‑to‑mid‑2026 for each phase, with a mandatory pre‑submission meeting and strict 10 am deadline. • Eligible units: existing, rehab, or new construction tied to PBV subsidies (no gap‑funding). • Evaluation criteria (100 points total) include location, design, developer capacity, feasibility, MBE/WBE participation, and Section 3 hiring plans. • Rent caps: 110 % of 2026 Voucher Payment Standard (120 % for UFAS units); no SAFMRs. • Required documents: organization certifications, experience narrative, financing sources & uses, site plans, HUD forms, MBE/WBE matrix, Section 3 plan, and multiple paper copies plus electronic PDF.
