Cumberland County Community Development has issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) seeking Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) from architectural and engineering (A/E) firms to provide professional services for two key housing initiatives:
These projects are supported with federal and state funding, including HOME-American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP) funds administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and Supportive Housing American Rescue Plan (SHARP) funds through the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency. The goal is to expand safe, stable housing and supportive services for qualifying populations, including individuals and families experiencing homelessness, at risk of homelessness, fleeing domestic violence or otherwise vulnerable as defined by HUD.
“The Phoenix Place and Robins Meadow projects represent a major step forward in Cumberland County’s efforts to provide both temporary and long-term housing options for our most vulnerable residents,” said County Chief of Staff and Interim Community Development Director Tye Vaught. “We are looking for an experienced design team that can help us deliver durable, accessible and community-centered housing on an accelerated timeline.”
The selected firm will provide comprehensive services for both projects, including:
Time is of the essence due to funding and occupancy milestones associated with HOME-ARP and SHARP.
