Opportunity Summary:
The Capacity Building for Community Development and Affordable Housing opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5196 N 01; CFDA 14.252) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Section 4 Capacity Building authority. Its core goal is to strengthen the operational and programmatic capacity of community development corporations (CDCs) and community housing development organizations (CHDOs) so they can more effectively deliver community development and affordable housing activities that benefit low-income families. In practice, this funding is meant to help intermediary organizations expand the skills, systems, staffing, training, and technical assistance that enable CDCs and CHDOs to plan, finance, build, preserve, and manage affordable housing and related community development efforts.
A key feature of this competition is that it is not open to the general public or to most nonprofits directly. Eligibility is restricted by statute to the first four organizations named in Section 4(a) of the HUD Demonstration Act of 1993. The only eligible applicants are Living Cities/The National Community Development Initiative, Enterprise Community Partners, Inc. (formerly The Enterprise Foundation), the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), and Habitat for Humanity International, at the specific headquarters addresses listed in the notice. Affiliates, local offices, and community partners of these national intermediaries cannot apply directly or independently under this HUD notice; instead, they would typically pursue capacity-building dollars through these national organizations, which then distribute funding and support to local CDCs, CHDOs, and partners.
The announcement indicates an expectation of four awards, aligning with the four eligible national intermediaries. The funding instrument is a grant, and there is a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients must contribute non-federal resources in accordance with the program rules set out in the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). The notice also references an amendment published in the Federal Register (FR 5196 N 02) described as a technical correction to the general section, signaling that applicants needed to follow the corrected NOFA language when preparing submissions and administering awards.
Timing-wise, the opportunity was posted on April 9, 2008, with a closing date of July 18, 2008, and it was archived on July 19, 2008, indicating it was a time-limited competition for that cycle. Anyone looking for the detailed requirements, eligible and ineligible uses, match rules, selection factors, and submission instructions would need to consult the program NOFA referenced in the announcement, since that document governs the specifics of what activities can be funded and how performance and compliance are measured. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed program contact was Karen E. Daly at (202) 708-1817.
