DESCRIPTION
The government authority in Madison, Wisconsin is seeking a vendor to provide services aimed at addressing and removing zoning, permitting, and building code barriers to affordable housing. The selected vendor will support local municipalities by developing and implementing planning and policy activities such as zoning and land-use updates, process improvements in permitting, and facilitating projects that enable housing reforms or unlock new development.
Key objectives include streamlining and modernizing local permitting processes, revising outdated codes that restrict housing types or densities, and enhancing review, inspection, and administrative procedures. Additional focus areas involve updating land use policies, community plans, and development guidance to better achieve local housing goals and improve access to housing near employment centers, services, and transit networks. Projects with clear leadership commitment, staff capacity, and robust public engagement through transparent outreach are highly encouraged.
The contract will be awarded for a period of one year. Interested parties must submit any questions regarding the RFP by April 3, 2026.
