Community - Level Housing Market Study Services

2026-11-03

The State seeks to procure the services of up to three ( 3 ) qualified contractors to conduct communitylevel housing market studies . These studies will serve as a foundational tool to inform local and regional planning , economic development initiatives , infrastructure investments , and housing policy decisions . As communities across Tennessee continue to experience shifting demographics , economic changes , and evolving housing needs , timely and accurate data is essential for making informed decisions and targeting resources effectively . The State has identified a growing demand from Tennessee communities — particularly in rural and economically distressed areas — for strategic support in assessing local housing conditions . Many communities lack the in - house capacity or expertise to analyze complex housing market dynamics . Without accurate data and market insights , local leaders are at a disadvantage when seeking to : • Attract private investment in housing development , • Apply for federal or state housing and infrastructure grants , • Align housing supply with local workforce and population needs , • Understand affordability gaps and barriers to homeownership , and • Respond to displacement or housing insecurity among vulnerable populations .
