Opportunity Summary:
The Capacity Building for Community Development and Affordable Housing Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5600 N 14) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under CFDA 14.252, known as the Section 4 Capacity Building for Community Development and Affordable Housing program. The core purpose of the program is to strengthen the operational and programmatic capacity of local nonprofit organizations that are central to neighborhood revitalization and affordable housing delivery, specifically community development corporations (CDCs) and community housing development organizations (CHDOs). Instead of HUD awarding money directly to a broad pool of local groups, the program funds national intermediaries that then provide capacity-building support intended to help CDCs and CHDOs plan, develop, and implement community development and affordable housing activities that primarily benefit low-income families.
A defining feature of this particular competition is that eligibility is tightly limited by statute. Only three organizations identified in the Department of Housing and Urban Development Appropriations Act, 2012 are allowed to apply: Enterprise Community Partners, Inc. (10227 Wincopin Circle, Suite 500, Columbia, MD 21044), the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) (501 Seventh Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10018), and Habitat for Humanity International (121 Habitat Street, Americus, GA 31709). No other applicants may compete, including affiliates, local offices, or community partners of those organizations; however, those local entities may still access Section 4 resources indirectly by seeking funding, training, technical assistance, or subawards through Enterprise, LISC, or Habitat as the national intermediaries.
The opportunity is categorized under the housing activity area and uses the grant funding instrument. HUD anticipated making three awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $35,000,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants under this notice, which is relevant because it clarifies that the intermediaries are not required to provide a formal match as a condition of award under this specific competition.
In terms of timing and status, the notice was posted and created on April 12, 2012, with an original and current application deadline of May 14, 2012. The opportunity was subsequently archived on May 21, 2012, indicating the competition window has closed and the announcement is maintained for recordkeeping and reference rather than for new submissions.
For applicants and interested stakeholders looking for official application materials and instructions, HUD directs readers to download the application package from the appropriate webpage using the CFDA number only (14.252). For questions about program requirements, the contact provided is Julie D. Hovden, reachable at julie.d.hovden@hud.gov. Although the competition itself is limited to the three named intermediaries, local CDCs, CHDOs, and other community development partners can treat this notice as a roadmap for where Section 4 capacity-building support originates and should look to Enterprise, LISC, or Habitat channels for downstream funding opportunities or capacity-building programs connected to these federal awards.
