Grant Writing and Administration Services for 2027 Community Home Improvement Program

The City of Perry requests statements of qualifications and proposals from consulting firms to provide grant writing, grant administration, and related services for a 2027 Community Home Improvement Program (CHIP). The selected firm must support projects utilizing federal funds for a two-to-three-year term, which may also lead to additional contracts for planning, design, and administrative services. Interested firms must mail or hand-deliver sealed proposals marked "CHIP PROPOSAL STATEMENT" on the exterior to Community Development Director Justin Kilgore by December 21, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. Applicants may also direct questions to Justin Kilgore by email or phone. The City of Perry evaluates proposals based on CHIP grant experience with references, key personnel qualifications, organizational capacity, current workload, proposed service levels, proximity to the project, willingness to assist with applications, and administrative service costs if funded.
