Agency New Business Opportunity: Lakeland Housing Authority Seeks Qualified Development Partners for Comprehensive Urban Redevelopment Initiative.

The Housing Authority of the City of Lakeland, also known as the Lakeland Housing Authority or LHA, invites qualified developers with substantial experience in urban redevelopment, master planning, mixed-finance and mixed-income housing, Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, and public housing redevelopment to submit statements of qualifications for comprehensive development-partner services. 


The selected Development Partner will collaborate with LHA on master planning, financing, rehabilitation, new construction, resident engagement, relocation, infrastructure, ownership structuring, development implementation, and related services for LHA-owned or controlled properties. LHA anticipates participation through an affiliate in project ownership and desires that its property-management affiliate be considered for management services. Final ownership and management arrangements are subject to negotiation and all applicable HUD, lender, investor, Florida Housing Finance Corporation, tax-credit, and project approvals. 


LHA encourages participation by small businesses, minority-owned businesses, women-owned businesses, labor-surplus-area firms, Section 3 business concerns, and other disadvantaged businesses. Section 3 obligations will apply when and to the extent required by 24 CFR Part 75. 

The complete RFQ may be obtained from [email protected]. Responses are due no later than 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Monday, September 14, 2026.
