All Invitations for Bids (IFBs) and Request for Proposals (RFPs) are subject to HABC’s procurement policies and federal guidelines. HABC encourages the participation of Minority Business Enterprises and Women Business Enterprises in response to available contracts.
The family will return these documents to the HABC office where they will be reviewed. If all is in order and rent requested is approvable, an inspection of the housing unit will be conducted within 5-10 business days. If the housing unit meets Housing Quality Standards (HQS) set by federal regulations and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the lease will be approved.
A Housing Assistance Payments Contract must be signed by the Landlord and HABC. This contract runs concurrently with the Lease Agreement signed between the Landlord and the Program Participant. A participant can remain on the Housing Assistance Program as long as they continue to be eligible and fulfill their obligations under the federal regulations of the program.
