Big Apple builders have a new opportunity to shape the cityscape and support communities in the heart of Saint Paul. Fresh off the press, the city is on the lookout for licensed General Contractors to drive its affordable housing rehab initiatives. Putting their skills to good use, contractors will play a crucial role in both Homeowner Rehab and Rental Rehabilitation Loan Programs.
According to the City of St. Paul, the Homeowner Rehab Program is throwing open its doors with up to $40,000 on the table for residential rehab assistance, while landlords have a shot to grab up to $75,000 in property improvements through the Rental Rehabilitation Loan Program. It's a move to ambitiously back low- and moderate-income families and landlords keen to maintain and upgrade their properties. And the city is not just offering a one-off deal; they're looking to fill slots and meet needs on an ongoing basis as long as the request for qualification remains open.
Contractors with a vision to enrich Saint Paul's housing options can check out the full request for qualifications and kick-start their application by filling out an interest form. As officially announced on the city's website, staff from the program will be in touch once they've got your info.
As applications roll in, reviews will consistently take place, setting no concrete deadline as the RFQ will stay open, as per the City of St. Paul. This chance to make a direct impact on housing isn't something contractors will want to miss. It's not only a gig; it's a legacy to leave in the community.
