Request for Qualifications – 2100 Block of Vine Street 

The City of Baltimore Department of Housing and Community Development is seeking one or more developers to rehabilitate eight city-owned residential structures in the 2100 block of Vine Street in the Fayette Street Outreach neighborhood for homeownership. A developer incentives budget of $150,000 is being allocated for this RFQ to help subsidize the rehabilitation as well as meet the Agency’s goal to ensure affordable homeownership opportunities in Baltimore City.

In anticipation of this rehabilitation work, the City stabilized each of the eight properties with new roofs in the Spring of 2024. The eight properties identified by Fayette Street Outreach (FSO) and the Baltimore City Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) to be rehabilitated are as follows:

2100 Block of Vine Street
2104  - 2109 - 2116 - 2134 - 2135 - 2138 - 2140 - 2146

Developer Incentives 

As part of this RFQ, the selected developer(s) would have access to developer incentives that will require the properties to be sold for affordable homeownership. That would be a minimum of $15,000 per property, but could allocate differently depending on the needs of the project. Properties with the developer incentives will be required to be affordable up to 120% or Area Median Income.
