FY2027 Capital Readiness Advisors for Community Capacity Initiative (Request for Qualifications and Quotes)

Description: Provide expertise and guidance through a peer learning cohort and individual advising to local governments, tribal governments and nonprofits with early-stage capital projects that directly benefit overburdened communities in Washington. Advisors will help grantees strengthen organizational and project readiness, address early-stage capital project challenges, and advance projects toward implementation. One advisor will be assigned to each grantee group: Washington local governments; federally recognized tribal governments; and federally designated nonprofits. The grant program supports local governments, federally recognized tribal governments, and eligible nonprofit organizations undertaking early-stage capital projects, including projects related to housing, energy, infrastructure, and other community facilities. Grant funding supports technical assistance and predevelopment activities intended to help communities overcome readiness barriers and advance viable capital projects toward implementation.
