The City of Pittsburgh (City), through the Department of City Planning (DCP), is soliciting proposals from professional consulting firms for a one-time contract to develop a comprehensive Housing Needs Assessment. The goal of the Assessment is to provide a better understanding of the existing housing market and needs of current and future Pittsburgh residents. The recommendations of the Assessment will help elected officials, City staff, stakeholders, and community members develop a meaningful sense of the housing market, recognize key housing issues, and understand how these issues impact the City.

The data-driven study must include an assessment of existing housing conditions, demographic and market demands, housing gaps and issues, current and anticipated unmet housing needs, and an outlook of anticipated housing demands over the next twenty years. When possible, citywide data should be broken down into smaller, consistent geographic components. The City anticipates the Assessment will create a framework and knowledge base to create a Housing Needs Assessment.
