Official opportunity: Request for Proposals: 2026 Affordable Rental Housing Project Utilizing HUD HOME Investment Partnerships – American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP) Funding (RFP-2026-788-HHH-RG)
Maximum funding: Up to $6,611,427 in HOME-ARP funding, paired with the conveyance of approximately 1.72 acres of City-owned land at 6600 Zuni Road SE, Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Deadline: September 30, 2026 at 4:00 PM local Albuquerque time. Mountain Daylight Time is in effect on that date.

At least 70 percent of total units must serve qualifying populations, with housing affordable to households at or below 50 percent of area median income.
Eligible applicants: Nonprofit organizations or governmental entities may apply with development teams that can include for-profit corporations, limited liability companies, and partnerships. Applicants must demonstrate development capacity, financing capacity, and compliance with the RFP threshold and scored criteria. Nonprofit applicants must support qualification as a Community Housing Development Organization or Affordable Housing Development Organization when required by the City.
Match and leverage: The City does not state a fixed mandatory match percentage for this HOME-ARP RFP. Applicants must demonstrate capacity to obtain additional project financing from other federal or state programs, private bank loans, or other sources.
Required proposal materials: Complete technical and cost proposal and all required forms, attachments, and exhibits through the City eProcurement system. The City identifies Appendix A Rental Development Project Application, Appendix B Multi-Family Underwriting Template, Appendix C Project Ranking Matrix, Appendix D CHDO/AHDO Application, Appendix E Supporting Documentation, and Appendix F HOME Cost Allocation Tool.
Submission: Electronic submission only through the City of Albuquerque eProcurement system.
Key compliance: 24 CFR Part 92, 2 CFR Part 200, 24 CFR Part 75, and 2 CFR Part 184 Build America, Buy America requirements apply, along with other applicable HOME-ARP requirements.
Atlas assessment: Atlas Opportunity Score: 74/100. N9+ Fit Score: 5/100. This is primarily an affordable housing development and underwriting opportunity. The public RFP does not establish a legitimate role for the Nonagon N9+ device and platform or QC Healthcare, so Atlas classifies Dr. Miltie/QC Healthcare as No Bid and does not authorize applicant outreach.
