Affordable Housing Plan & Investment Strategy

2026-11-03

The City is soliciting a person or firm to contract for consulting services to guide the strategic plan process for the City of Durham ’ s Affordable Housing Plan and Investment Strategy . Consultants are invited to submit a proposal which includes an outline of their experience and qualifications in performing work directly related to the services required . The City envisions the following scope of work in the development of an Affordable Housing Plan and Investment Strategy : • Review existing affordable housing strategies and plans , including Forever Home , Durham and the recent County - wide Affordable Housing Task Force Report . • Review housing market data already gathered from existing work and provide any additional data gathering and analysis needed . • Review existing land use and zoning plans , including those under development . • Review existing City capacity ( staffing ) and determine capacity needs within the City and among our community partners . • Connect existing strategies and plans with new recommendations to form the Affordable Housing Plan and Investment Strategy . • Conduct engagement with community and key stakeholders to get feedback on draft plan , including individuals with lived experience of housing insecurity . Because significant community engagement and data analysis has occurred in recent years , including much content related to affordable housing need and preferences , the proposed engagement should prioritize engaging community members with lived experience of housing insecurity , as well as a broad range of developers , service providers , residents , and other key stakeholders .
