What Procurement Really Means
Procurement is more than buying supplies. At the Rockford Housing Authority (RHA), procurement ensures that every service—from routine maintenance to large-scale modernization—is delivered by qualified vendors who understand and support our community’s needs. It’s a process built on planning, compliance, and equity.
Supporting Transparency and Equity
All procurement decisions follow HUD regulations and our internal procurement policy. Whether it’s a $1,500 purchase or a multi-year service contract, we document every step ensuring transparency, competitiveness, and value to the public.
Why It Matters for the Community
Ethical and inclusive procurement helps open doors for small and minority-owned businesses, raises community standards, and ensures our limited resources have the greatest possible impact. It’s about more than contracts—it’s about community results.
Procurement shapes how we serve from vendor choices to community results. Want to partner with us? Contact Linda Dorsey-Tillman, Procurement Manager.
