Opportunity Summary:
The Community Development Technical Assistance (CD TA) Homeless grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5300 N 18C) was a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to fund technical assistance intended to strengthen performance and improve results across key HUD community development programs. While the overall CD TA umbrella covered five program areas, this particular listing highlights the Homeless component within that broader technical assistance framework. The central idea was to support communities and program participants with expert help, guidance, and capacity-building so they could implement HUD-funded programs more effectively, meet compliance requirements, and achieve stronger outcomes for the people they serve.
The opportunity focused on technical assistance rather than direct service funding. In practical terms, that usually means funding organizations that can provide specialized support such as training, planning assistance, policy and procedure development, program design improvements, performance management, and troubleshooting complex administrative or regulatory issues. The aim, as stated by HUD, was to help jurisdictions and participating entities reach the highest level of performance and results. The five program areas encompassed by CD TA were HOME, CHDO (under HOME), Homeless programs, HOPWA (Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS), and CDBG (Community Development Block Grant). Even though the description is brief, the intent is clear: HUD wanted capable providers to help grantees and partners operate these programs with higher quality, stronger accountability, and better measurable outcomes.
This was a grant (not a contract) with an estimated total funding amount of $5,485,000 and no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding activity category was listed under Community Development and Housing, consistent with HUDs mission to support housing stability, community development capacity, and effective local program delivery. The opportunity was posted and created on September 8, 2009, with an original and final application deadline of October 21, 2009. The archive date was October 26, 2009, indicating the competition is long closed and provided here as historical record.
Eligibility was not limited to a single applicant type in the short summary. Instead, HUD indicated that eligible applicants varied by the specific program area within the CD TA Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). Applicants were directed to consult the eligibility chart in Section III.A of the full NOFA text for the definitive list of who could apply under each program component. HUD also emphasized an important limitation: individuals are not directly funded through HUDs competitive NOFA process. In other words, funding was intended for organizations or entities capable of delivering technical assistance at a professional level rather than for individual applicants seeking personal support.
For application access, HUD pointed applicants to an application package download page using the CFDA number only, reflecting how HUD competitions at the time often required retrieving forms and instructions through the federal grants system using the CFDA identifier. For help obtaining or accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Guadalupe M. Herrera, Deputy Director, at (202) 708-4604.
Overall, the CD TA Homeless opportunity was designed to invest in the back-end capacity and expertise that makes homelessness-related HUD programs work better on the ground. Instead of paying for direct housing units or direct client assistance, it supported the organizations that could train, advise, and strengthen the systems and practitioners responsible for planning, administering, and delivering HUD community development and homelessness program activities.
