Opportunity Summary:
The Choice Neighborhoods Planning Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5800 N 13) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that funds the creation of comprehensive neighborhood revitalization plans. The intent is to help communities design a coordinated, place-based strategy that can later be implemented to produce lasting improvements in housing, resident outcomes, and the broader neighborhood. In other words, the grant is aimed at planning work, not simply isolated projects, and it emphasizes a holistic approach that ties together housing redevelopment, supportive services for families, and neighborhood-level investments.
At the center of the program are three core goals that the planning effort is expected to address in an integrated way. The first goal, Housing, focuses on transforming distressed public and assisted housing into energy-efficient, mixed-income housing that can remain physically sound and financially stable over the long term. This points to planning for redevelopment that is not just a short-term fix, but something designed to be sustainable, well-managed, and resilient, with attention to operating viability and quality of construction. The second goal, People, is about improving outcomes for families living in the target housing development(s) and the surrounding neighborhood, particularly in areas like health, safety, employment, mobility, and education. This signals that the revitalization plan should include strategies and partnerships that support residents directly, not only through better buildings but through services, pathways to jobs, and supports that strengthen family stability. The third goal, Neighborhood, aims to convert distressed, high-poverty areas into viable mixed-income neighborhoods that offer access to well-functioning services, strong public schools and education programs, high-quality early learning opportunities, public assets, reliable public transportation, and improved access to jobs. Taken together, these priorities show HUD is looking for planning that connects housing redevelopment to community amenities and economic opportunity so that residents can thrive without being isolated from quality services and employment.
In terms of funding details, HUD anticipated making about 10 awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $5,000,000. Individual awards could be up to $500,000 (the award ceiling), and the listed award floor is $0, meaning proposals may request varying amounts up to the cap depending on the scope and design of the planning effort. The program requires cost sharing or matching, so applicants are expected to bring some level of non-federal resources to the table, which can also indicate local commitment and the capacity to carry the plan forward after the grant period.
Eligibility is broad across key local and community-based actors that typically lead neighborhood planning and housing transformation work. Eligible applicants include public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, city or township governments, county governments, certain tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments), and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (so long as they are not institutions of higher education). Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations are explicitly not eligible. The funding activity category is Housing, and the CFDA number associated with the program is 14.892 (Choice Neighborhoods Planning Grants), which is helpful for tracking the program in federal assistance databases and for organizational grants management.
Key dates listed for this particular notice show it was posted on June 13, 2014, with an application deadline (closing date) of August 12, 2014. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was later archived on February 13, 2015, which indicates the window for applying under this specific announcement has closed, though the summary remains useful for understanding the program structure and expectations.
HUD provided an additional information link through its grants/funds-available portal page, where the full announcement and related materials would typically be found. For support, HUD noted that staff could provide general guidance and technical assistance before the deadline, but could not help applicants write or assemble their applications. Questions and clarification requests were handled by email to the address specified in the formal notice of funding availability (NOFA).
