Built to Last serves single-family owner-occupied homes in Philadelphia where households earn 60% of area median income or below. The program coordinates home repair funding and services from multiple partners to address comprehensive home restoration needs and improve the safety, health, accessibility, affordability, and resilience of participating homes. Qualified Contractors selected through this RFQ will be added to the BTL Qualified Contractor List and will be eligible to receive project scopes based on availability, capacity, project fit, and track record.

The Program Team expects to select Contractors with this RFQ for an initial contract term through December 2029, with the option to renew for up to two additional one-year terms (December 31, 2031). Individual BTL project scopes are generally limited to $25,000, except for approved unforeseen change orders.
