Visit HCR’s website at www.hcr.ny.gov for more information about DHCR and its HCR affiliated

2. Purpose

The purpose of this RFP is to solicit qualified proposals from eligible Proposers to serve as a Local

Loan Administrator (“Proposer”) for the purpose of originating, servicing, marketing and

administering affordable loans to eligible Agricultural Producers1 across NYS that will aid in the

construction and improvement of dwelling accommodations for farmworker housing in accordance

with statutory directives under the New York State Farmworker Housing Loan Program (“FHP” or

the “Program”).

This RFP outlines the terms and conditions, and all applicable information required for submission of

a proposal. To prevent possible disqualification and to ensure compliance with the requirements of

the RFP, Proposers should pay strict attention to the Proposal Submission Deadline indicated in the

Calendar of Events and Milestones section of this RFP and follow the format and instructions

contained herein.

3. Overview of the NYS Farmworker Housing Loan Program

The FHP was first authorized in 1995 and subsequently expanded by amendments to Article XI of the

Private Housing Finance Law to aid in the improvement of existing housing or the construction of new

housing for farmworkers. Under the Program, affordable loans are made to farmers to assist in the

rehabilitation, improvement or new construction of housing for farmworkers (whether seasonal or

year-round). Loan repayments replenish the Housing Development Fund (“HDF”) to allow for the

origination of additional loans in a revolving loan fund structure. The FHP is administered by DHCR,

with the cooperation of the New York State Department of Health and county health departments.

Under the initial HDF-funded component of the FHP, it is anticipated that DHCR will advance up to

$15,000,000 in loan funds that will be made available for disbursement on a revolving basis over a

five-year (5) contract term to support the financing of farmworker housing projects throughout the

State. Under this component of the FHP, loans are provided to Agricultural Producers up to a

maximum of $200,000 to any single Agricultural Producer1 in a one (1) year period.

1 “Agricultural Producer” shall mean a person or entity which owns or operates land eligible for an agricultural assessment

pursuant to Section 355 or Section 306 of the Agriculture and Markets Law and which produces food by the tillage of the

soil, or raises, sheers, feeds or manages animals or other dairying processes.
