City Explores Possibility of Developing Tiny Homes
The city’s Department of Planning and Development has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to evaluate the viability of tiny homes in Chicago. The RFI specifically seeks proposals with a focus on the potential for tiny homes to the homeless as well as seniors.
The RFI is seeking responses from housing developers, non-profit housing agencies and related entities to help the city assess the viability of tiny homes within the context of local neighborhoods, the municipal code and affordable housing resources. Responses should include estimated development costs of no more than $2 million, target populations, sites and the rationale for any proposed zoning changes.
The initiative will be supported by funding from the city’s fee on house-sharing companies like Airbnb and from the Affordable Housing Opportunity Fund, which receives fees paid by developers. Responses on the RFI must be received by July 13.
