City staff discussed intention to release a 2022
Homekey Request for Proposals (RFP) ahead
of Homekey 3.0 NOFA
Email Outreach June 2, 2022 & June

Emails to all developers and sponsors on our
list from Homekey Round 2 to let them know
about Round 3 and connect them with property
owners who were interested in partnering with
Homekey Round 3 sponsors
Homekey Sponsor Feedback Session June 30, 2022 Zoom session for sponsors to provide feedback on City’s process for Homekey Round 2 and
offer suggestion for how to improve for Round 3
More Homekey Feedback Sessions are
planned
Early August 2022 Zoom sessions for sponsors to provide feedback
Recommended approach is based on stakeholder outreach for the 2022 Homekey Request for Proposals (RFP) ● Sponsors found process too slow –City must be ready to apply to the state ASAP after State NOFA release
● Sponsors valued City’s stewardship and advocacy of projects through the Homekey application process
● Sponsors encouraged continuing City facilitation for sponsor partnering and owners selling
● Sponsors sought more clarity around City operating subsidy payment standards and OHA process
● Councilmembers expressed support for more homeless housing for LGBTQ+ and TAY residents

Post Homekey 2.0 Feedback
9 ● State issued its Homekey 2.0 NOFA in Sept-21, awarded funds “over the counter” in order of receipt starting Oct-21. ● City’s lengthy Homekey RFP and Council process went through Dec-21, with applications submitted in Jan-22.
● State expected to issue Homekey 3.0 NOFA this summer or fall. ● Homekey 3.0 NOFA should closely resemble 2.0.
