From the meeting
At its November 3, 2026 meeting, the council considered final adoption of updated Homebuyer Assistance Program (HAP) guidelines for HUD-funded CDBG and HOME activity. The attached guidelines set a $50,000 subsidy cap with up to an additional $5,000 for a maximum $55,000, effective for PY2026-2027, and said the program uses HOME or CDBG funds for down payments, principal reduction, and closing costs. The document also stated that the previous HAP guidelines were last updated in 2020.
The ordinance was still scheduled for final adoption in this agenda.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Alexandria's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
