Opportunity Summary:
The BJA FY 11 Building Neighborhood Capacity Program Training and Technical Assistance Coordinator (BNCP TTA Coordinator) grant opportunity is a discretionary federal grant aimed at strengthening the ability of distressed neighborhoods to plan and carry out comprehensive revitalization. It sits under the White House-led Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative (NRI), a multi-agency partnership designed to help transform high-need communities into "neighborhoods of opportunity." The program is built around the reality that the most challenged neighborhoods often face overlapping problems such as high crime, poor health outcomes, underperforming schools, unstable or inadequate housing, and limited access to jobs. Instead of treating those issues in isolation, the initiative emphasizes coordinated, long-term neighborhood rebuilding driven by a comprehensive revitalization plan and aligned with existing local and state planning efforts.
At the center of this solicitation is the selection of one Training and Technical Assistance Coordinator organization that will support five neighborhoods chosen through a competitive process. The TTA Coordinator is expected to organize, deliver, and/or broker a range of training and technical assistance services that help these neighborhoods begin or deepen revitalization work. The basic idea is capacity building: helping local leaders and community partnerships develop the skills, systems, and collaborative structures needed to conduct comprehensive planning, implement strategies, and sustain momentum over time. The Coordinator role is not just about offering occasional workshops; it is about managing an ongoing support function that can assess local needs, connect sites with specialized expertise, and ensure assistance is responsive and aligned with the neighborhoods' plans and broader government planning processes.
The opportunity is jointly funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) within the Office of Justice Programs, along with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the U.S. Department of Education (ED). Because multiple agencies are contributing, the solicitation notes that statutory authorities and the proportional contributions of each participating agency could shift depending on final funding decisions, and the number or composition of participating agencies could change during the project period. Even with that flexibility, the intent is clearly cross-sector: public safety, housing and community development, and education working together to support neighborhood transformation through coordinated technical support.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number BJA 2011 3076 and the CFDA listing 16.595 (Community Capacity Development). The award ceiling is listed as $2,000,000, with no stated award floor, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The solicitation was posted June 9, 2011, with an application closing date of July 25, 2011, and an archive date of August 24, 2011. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services, reflecting BJA's involvement and the public-safety-related dimensions of neighborhood revitalization.
Eligibility is limited to organizations with substantial, demonstrated experience in neighborhood and community development training and technical assistance. Specifically, eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, faith-based and community organizations, institutions of higher education, and for-profit (commercial) organizations. A major condition applies to for-profit applicants: they must agree to forgo any profit or management fee, reinforcing that the award is intended to fund service delivery and capacity building rather than generate earnings. The solicitation also signals that additional eligibility clarification is available in the full announcement.
From an applicant responsibility standpoint, the strongest proposals would typically be expected to show an ability to coordinate multi-disciplinary expertise (for example, public safety strategies, community development finance, housing stabilization, education partnerships, health and human services coordination, and data-driven planning), manage relationships across multiple sites, and tailor assistance based on each neighborhood's readiness and needs. The Coordinator is positioned as the organizing hub that can either directly provide training and technical assistance or "broker" it by bringing in specialized partners, consultants, or peer-learning resources. The end goal is to help the five selected neighborhoods build practical capacity to carry out comprehensive planning and early implementation steps in a way that is coordinated, locally grounded, and sustainable over the long term.
