HOME Investment Partnerships Program - American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP)
Request for Qualifications
The City of Billings is executing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process to distribute HOME-ARP funding. The City anticipates allocating $1,029,623 to eligible respondents that will successfully manage a supportive services program. Supportive service activities must address homeless assistance needs and increase housing stability for individuals and families in Billings in the following qualifying populations: homeless; at-risk of homelessness; fleeing or attempting to flee domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking; other populations where providing assistance would prevent the family’s homelessness or would serve those with the greatest risk of housing instability; and veterans and families that include a veteran family member that meet one of the preceding criteria.
A Request for Qualifications Guidebook, supporting materials, and links to the online submission forms can be accessed on the City’s website at
www.BillingsMT.gov/homearp
starting October 9, 2023. Responses must be submitted via the online survey tool by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, November 17, 2023.
