Opportunity Summary:
The Community Development Technical Assistance (CD TA) CDBG opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5300 N 18E) is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to fund technical assistance that improves performance, compliance, and outcomes across several major HUD community development programs. The central goal is not to directly finance local construction or service projects, but to strengthen the capacity of the agencies and organizations that administer HUD funding so they can deliver better results, meet federal requirements, and operate more efficiently and effectively.
This technical assistance is aimed at five distinct program areas: (1) HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), (2) Community Housing Development Organizations under HOME (CHDO set-aside and related CHDO requirements), (3) Homeless assistance programs, (4) Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA), and (5) the Community Development Block Grant program (CDBG). In practical terms, CD TA funds can support expert help such as training, on-site or remote coaching, development of tools and systems, policy and procedure improvements, troubleshooting complex compliance issues, and helping grantees address recurring audit or monitoring findings. The underlying idea is that better technical know-how and stronger administrative systems lead to better housing and community development outcomes and fewer compliance problems.
The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant with a grant funding instrument type, and its activity focus is community development and housing. The total estimated funding amount listed for this round is $2,000,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to provide a matching contribution as a condition of receiving an award. The associated CFDA program numbers include 14.218 (CDBG Entitlement Grants), 14.225 (CDBG Special Purpose Grants/Insular Areas), and 14.248 (CDBG Section 108 Loan Guarantees), reflecting the CDBG-related scope and the broader community development framework in which this technical assistance sits.
Eligibility is not described as a single universal list because it varies depending on which of the five program areas an applicant is proposing to support. HUD indicates that a chart in the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) provides the full eligibility breakdown in Section III.A of the full announcement. The listing also notes that HUD does not directly fund individuals through its competitive NOFA process, which typically means applicants are expected to be organizations (such as governmental entities, nonprofits, universities, public or quasi-public intermediaries, or other qualified technical assistance providers), with the exact allowable applicant types dependent on the specific program area covered by the proposal.
Key dates for this archived competition show it was posted on September 8, 2009, with an original and current closing date of October 21, 2009, and an archive date of October 26, 2009.

Herrera, Deputy Director at HUD, reachable at 202-708-4604.
Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as HUD funding for technical assistance providers to help communities and program administrators run HOME, CHDO, Homeless, HOPWA, and CDBG programs at a higher level of performance, with strong emphasis on improved management capacity, regulatory compliance, and measurable program results rather than direct project financing.
