The City of San José Housing Department is pleased to announce a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Legal Services for Low-Income Tenants and Landlords Program.  This Program is to increase housing stability by providing landlord/tenant counseling, education, referrals, and legal assistance to low-income tenants and landlords.  Available legal assistance may pertain to eviction under the City's Tenant Protection Ordinance (TPO), and violations of the City's Apartment Rent Ordinance (ARO).  These services will include outreach and education to low-income tenants and landlords citywide.

 

The application is available on the Housing Department's website,  and the City's WebGrants . Completed proposals will be due on Friday, April 6, 2018.

 

Housing Department staff will conduct an Application Workshop to assist all RFP respondents in completing the application and required forms, and enhance their understanding of applicable requirements and project evaluation criteria. Applicants are strongly encouraged to send both a project director/manager and a staff member responsible for the financial oversight of the project to attend this meeting. The workshop is scheduled for:
