2026-11-03

Ensuring that both the public and those working within the housing ecosystem understand how appraisals work ; and how bias can manifest ; is a critical component of this effort . To support this goal , the City invites competitive proposals from qualified and experienced professional services firms , individuals , or nonprofit organizations (“ Service Providers ”) to develop and deliver a comprehensive training program . This initiative will include the creation of a training curriculum tailored to City Departments and partner Housing Counseling agencies who regularly interact with homeowners and homebuyers . The selected Service Provider will also be responsible for conducting live training , as well as creation and design of user - friendly print and digital outreach materials . The City seeks a Service Provider with demonstrated experience in not only the home appraisal process , but also equitable housing education , curriculum design , and public engagement to support this impactful work . The provider will also help design referral pathways and intake processes for those experiencing appraisal bias , working in collaboration with City departments and partner organizations . This work is foundational to building trust and advancing fair housing outcomes across Philadelphia .
