Opportunity Summary:
The Choice Neighborhoods FY 2010 Pre Notice was a preliminary HUD announcement meant to help communities get ready for a future competitive funding process under a new Choice Neighborhoods Initiative demonstration. It was posted by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in the context of the FY 2010 HUD Appropriations law, which allowed the HUD Secretary to direct up to $65,000,000 from HOPE VI appropriations toward this demonstration. The posting itself was not an application solicitation; it was informational only, intended to give prospective applicants time to prepare before HUD released the actual competition materials and requirements.
The purpose described in the notice centers on the long-standing problem of concentrated poverty and how it limits opportunity for low-income families, particularly children. HUD highlights that when poverty is clustered in specific neighborhoods, residents often face barriers to good schools, safe environments, employment access, transportation, and other supports that help people move up economically. The notice also points out that many high-poverty neighborhoods include a significant amount of distressed public housing or other HUD-assisted housing that has deteriorated to the point where substantial repair or full replacement may be necessary. In that framing, housing conditions and neighborhood conditions are treated as intertwined problems: failing housing stock can reinforce disinvestment, and neighborhood distress can undermine residents even when they have housing assistance.
HUD situates Choice Neighborhoods as building on the earlier HOPE VI program. HOPE VI is described as a successful first step in transforming areas dominated by severely distressed public housing into revitalized, mixed-income neighborhoods. The pre-notice signals that Choice Neighborhoods would continue that trajectory, with a demonstration approach aimed at comprehensive neighborhood revitalization tied to improving or replacing distressed assisted housing while supporting broader neighborhood outcomes.
In terms of who could participate, the eligibility language in the appropriations law was broad. Potential applicants included local governments, public housing authorities, nonprofits, and for-profit developers, with the important condition that for-profit developers would need to apply jointly with a public entity. That structure indicates HUD was anticipating cross-sector partnerships and coordinated local leadership, rather than stand-alone applications from a single private developer.
Administratively, the opportunity was categorized as a discretionary program and used an "Other" funding instrument type in the posting. It carried no cost-sharing or matching requirement in the notice. The posting date was May 27, 2010, with an original (and current) closing date listed as July 1, 2010, but the notice repeatedly clarifies that there was no application associated with the posting and it functioned only as an advance notice. The archive date was August 26, 2010, aligning with the creation date noted in the record. For further details, HUD directed readers to the full notice on the HUD website, and provided a contact for access issues: Dorthera Yorkshire, Program Analyst, at 202-402-4336, with the reminder that no application was available through this announcement.
