The City of Tucson has RFPs available for agencies that want to provide services in the Thrive in the 05 area.

HCD is seeking proposals from organizations to build and operate Community Serving Facilities in Thrive in the 05 in support of the impactful Choice Neighborhoods Implementation grant.

As part of the CNI initiative, the City seeks proposals from qualified organizations, developers, nonprofits, health care providers, and operators of community-serving facilities to develop one or more of the following:

A Community Food Hub with the potential for kitchen incubator space, culinary training, food-related entrepreneurship opportunities, emergency food or meal distribution, food pantry services, and/or a market or cafe.
A Health Station to provide primary care navigation, behavioral health services, preventative care, health screenings, wellness programming, or other service models.
Neighborhood-serving retail and community services such as a grocery/market, coffee shop, and/or food retail.
The City is not seeking to operate these facilities directly, but rather to invest in the development or renovation of facilities and the purchase of equipment needed to support new, robust community services. Applicants responding to this Request for Proposals (RFP) will be responsible for operations and sustaining community services.

All RFPs are due July 15, 2026. Proposals will be selected by August. The City is accepting electronic submissions via email to Denisse Ortega-Loroña at [email protected]. Please submit all documents as PDF files.
