Rent Reasonableness Service

The Housing Authority of Chicago, Illinois, requires a vendor to provide rent reasonableness determinations and an online searchable property listing service. This service must meet the specific needs of Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) property owners and program participants. The agency aims to solve the challenge of ensuring rent compliance while helping participants locate suitable housing through a reliable, integrated platform. The scope of work covers the development of both front-end and back-end system components based on a thorough discovery and analysis of the current environment and stakeholder needs. The selected vendor must provide a customer support call center for owners and participants, maintain property listing service integrity, and utilize web-based real estate data sources. The system must also incorporate mobility area and accessibility identifiers to assist users in their housing search. Only organizations based in the United States are eligible to bid on this opportunity. The agency allows the performance of the work to take place either onsite or offsite. Bidders must submit their proposals digitally via email or through the designated online portal, and the agency is currently open to receiving budget proposals for a contract period of two years. The agency requires all clarification questions to be submitted no later than June 08, 2025. Bidders must submit a Letter of Intent by June 19, 2026. The evaluation will focus on the vendor's ability to meet all functional and non-functional system requirements outlined in the discovery phase.
