Catalytic Community Investment Fund Design, Formation, and Launch Service

The government authority in Houston, Texas requires a vendor to provide catalytic community investment fund design, formation, and launch services. The vendor must design, structure, and stand up a fund that acts as a financing partner and ecosystem activator in historically disinvested neighborhoods. The scope includes an organizational and market assessment, a fund framework document, governance and legal structure recommendations, and an implementation roadmap. The fund aims to attract capital, expand below-market financing for local and small builders, and strengthen the pipeline of development-ready sites across the Houston region. Eligible bidders must be onshore USA organizations. The vendor will perform the work offsite and can submit responses digitally via email or online. The buyer is looking for proposals to establish the budget. Bidders must submit all questions no later than September 29, 2026.
