SECTION I – BACKGROUND INFORMATION
1. SCOPE OF PROPOSAL/INTRODUCTION
The Milwaukee County Housing Authority (hereinafter referred to as the “County”) is seeking
rental property owners and/or developers (hereinafter “Proposer”) who wish to attach federal
rental subsidies to properties eligible for the project-based voucher rental assistance program as
explained in this proposal. It is the County’s intention to solicit proposals from Proposers,
evaluate the qualifications, establish a competitive range, conduct interviews, verify the
information presented, and ultimately enter into an Agreement with the successful Proposer(s).
Project-Based Section 8, known herein as Project-Based Rental Assistance, is a U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) rental assistance program that aids low-income
families through the attachment of rental subsidies to single and multifamily housing units. The
rental subsidy is paid by the County through HUD and reduces an eligible family’s monthly
housing costs typically to no more than 40% of adjusted monthly income. The County is
authorized to use up to 20% of its allocated Housing Choice Voucher Program subsidy for a
project-based assistance program. The County seeks to meet the agency’s local goals, as
outlined in the County’s Administrative Plan, with the award of a limited number of project-
based assistance vouchers.
