Opportunity Summary:
The Rural Capacity Building for Community Development and Affordable Housing Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FR 6000 N 08) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). It was created under authority provided in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016 (Public Law 114-113, signed December 18, 2015). The program sits within HUDs community development funding activity area (CFDA 14.265) and is designed to strengthen the ability of organizations working in rural places to carry out community development and affordable housing activities by building their internal capacity and effectiveness.
Funding is provided through grants, with an award ceiling of up to $2,500,000 per award. HUD anticipated making about 5 awards under this notice. Because it is a capacity-building program, the central aim is not simply to finance bricks-and-mortar development, but to increase the skills, systems, staffing, and organizational readiness that rural community development and affordable housing efforts depend on. In practice, this type of program typically supports training, technical assistance, and organizational development so that rural communities and local partners can plan, finance, develop, and sustain affordable housing and related community development initiatives more successfully over time.
Eligibility is limited primarily to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The listing also notes that additional applicant types may be eligible, referenced as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," meaning the full NOFA would spell out any additional qualifying entities or special conditions. The opportunity was posted on July 15, 2016, with an original application deadline of September 13, 2016. Applications submitted electronically were required to be received no later than 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date, which is the typical HUD standard for on-time submission.
Overall, this NOFA offered sizable, competitively awarded grants to a small number of recipients to expand rural capacity for community development and affordable housing work. It emphasized strengthening the infrastructure and know-how of eligible nonprofit organizations so they can better support rural communities in developing and preserving affordable housing and carrying out broader community development goals.
