Facade and Tenant Improvement Program RFP

The City of Oakland’s Economic and Workforce Development Department (EWDD) invites proposals from qualified service providers to administer and implement the Façade and Tenant Improvement Program (FTIP), which funds business and property owners to improve the exterior and/or interior of their commercial properties. The selected service provider will work with approximately 80 grantees that have already been issued grant award letters by the City and that have been designated for the second phase that will start in 2024, guiding them through the grant process, offering technical assistance, and facilitating reimbursement for approved construction projects.

FTIP was expanded and relaunched in late 2022, with an application window that closed on January 31st, 2023. The City received over 650 applications, and in May approved grants to 100 eligible applicants of up to $25,000 each, awarded based on equity scoring criteria and fulfillment of the program goals. The first phase of 20 FTIP grants are currently being processed by City staff, with the remaining 80 grants to be processed in a second phase starting in 2024. The program includes a priority focus on underinvested commercial corridors most impacted by racism and underinvestment. More information on FTIP, including a link to program guidelines, is available at www.oaklandca.gov/ftip.
