Opportunity Summary:
The Capacity Building for Community Development and Affordable Housing Grants (Section 4) is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) aimed at strengthening the organizations that do hands-on community development and affordable housing work at the local level. The core idea is that HUD funds a small set of national intermediary organizations, and those intermediaries then use the resources to build the operational, technical, and programmatic capacity of community development corporations (CDCs) and community housing development organizations (CHDOs). The ultimate purpose is to help these local groups more effectively plan, finance, develop, and manage affordable housing and related community development activities that benefit low-income families.
This particular funding notice is identified as Funding Opportunity Number FR 5800 N 17 under CFDA 14.252 (Section 4 Capacity Building for Community Development and Affordable Housing). It was posted on July 23, 2014, with an application deadline of August 25, 2014, and it later moved to archive status on February 13, 2015. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the deadline date. HUD anticipated making three awards, and the estimated total funding available across awards was $35,000,000. The opportunity lists cost sharing or matching as a requirement, meaning award recipients were expected to contribute non-federal resources consistent with the program rules and the specific requirements laid out in the full notice.
Eligibility for this competition was highly restricted and limited by statute to three named national organizations referenced in the Department of Housing and Urban Development Appropriations Act, 2014. The only eligible applicants were Enterprise Community Partners, Inc. (formerly The Enterprise Foundation) in Columbia, Maryland; the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) in New York, New York; and Habitat for Humanity International in Americus, Georgia. No other entities could apply directly. Importantly, this restriction also covered affiliates and local offices of those organizations as well as their community partners; they were not permitted to compete independently under this HUD notice. Instead, local organizations seeking Section 4 support would typically pursue funding, training, or technical assistance through one of the three national intermediaries. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships were explicitly ineligible to apply for or receive awards.
From a practical standpoint, the structure of this grant means HUD is not directly funding thousands of local CDCs and CHDOs through this announcement. HUD is funding the intermediaries, and the intermediaries then deliver capacity-building assistance downstream. That assistance generally focuses on improving the ability of local nonprofits to carry out affordable housing development and community development activities more effectively and sustainably, which can include strengthening organizational systems, project readiness, financial management, compliance capabilities, and other competencies that enable successful delivery of affordable housing outcomes for low-income households.
For applicants or interested parties trying to find the official materials, HUD provided an additional information link through its grants funding availability page. A point of contact was also listed for access issues with the announcement: Tasleem Albaari (Tasleem.Albaari@hud.gov) within HUD Grants Policy.
Capacity Building for Community Development and Affordable Housing Grants (Section 4) - FAQs
What is the Capacity Building for Community Development and Affordable Housing Grants (Section 4) program?
It is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that is designed to strengthen organizations doing hands-on community development and affordable housing work at the local level. HUD funds a small set of national intermediary organizations, and those intermediaries then use the resources to build the operational, technical, and programmatic capacity of local community-based housing and development organizations.
What is the purpose of this HUD funding opportunity?
The ultimate purpose is to help local organizations more effectively plan, finance, develop, and manage affordable housing and related community development activities that benefit low-income families. Rather than paying directly for local projects through this specific notice, the funding supports capacity-building activities that improve a local organization's ability to produce affordable housing outcomes.
How does the funding flow from HUD to local organizations?
HUD funds national intermediary organizations. Those intermediaries then provide capacity-building support (such as training, technical assistance, and other organizational strengthening resources) to community development corporations (CDCs) and community housing development organizations (CHDOs). In other words, local organizations typically access Section 4 support through the intermediaries, not by applying directly to HUD under this notice.

The notice describes downstream beneficiaries as community development corporations (CDCs) and community housing development organizations (CHDOs) that carry out local affordable housing and community development work, particularly work benefiting low-income families.
