AREA AGENCY ON AGING OF PASCO-PINELLAS

 

Contingent upon the availability of funds, the Area Agency on Aging of Pasco-Pinellas, Inc. (“AAAPP”) for Planning and Service Area 5 (Pasco and Pinellas Counties) will be contracting and is soliciting sealed proposals for a qualified Affordable Senior Housing Developer.

 

The AAAPP is a non-profit organization that has served seniors and individuals with disabilities in our community since 1974. The AAAPP’s mission is to be a trusted resource to advocate, educate and empower seniors, adults with disabilities and caregivers which promotes independence, in partnership with the community.  Pasco County Florida’s senior population continues to grow at an unprecedented rate while housing costs have outpaced senior incomes for decades.  These trends result in a senior housing affordability crisis for both renters (who are being forced out by rising rents) as well as homeowners who cannot afford their mortgages, rising property taxes and maintenance costs. To address this issue, the AAAPP is seeking a qualified affordable senior housing developer to build and operate an 80-unit affordable housing development in New Port Richey, Pasco County, Florida.

 

Requests for Proposal specifications may be obtained electronically beginning November 2, 2026, at: www.agingcarefl.org

 

A Bidder’s Conference will be held at 11:30 a.m. on November 18, 2026. The Request for Proposal will be reviewed and any questions by interested parties will be answered. All interested parties are encouraged to attend. The Bidder’s Conference will be held via TEAMS at:
