Housing Information Management System (HIMS) Request for Proposals
The Aspen Pitkin County Housing Authority (APCHA) is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to implement a Housing Information Management System (HIMS) for the City of Aspen and Pitkin County. APCHA manages all aspects of affordable, workforce housing in Aspen and Pitkin County, including, but not limited to, property management, real estate procurement, real estate sales, leasing and program compliance. HIMS will integrate the major operational components of APCHA into a cohesive information management system with an external user portal.
