The City of Mobile, Alabama, has extended its Request for Proposals (RFP) for affordable housing development. The Neighborhood Development Department manages this initiative. Funding comes from Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds. These funds were allocated by the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA) in response to Hurricanes Sally and Zeta.
The RFP was first published on November 20, 2024. It is now extended for at least one year from December 5, 2025. The City is seeking proposals from for-profit and not-for-profit organizations.

Eligible projects include new construction and the acquisition or rehabilitation of existing properties. Proposals must use the ‘Affordable Housing Development Funding Application’ found on the City’s Neighborhood Development Department website…
