Opportunity Summary:
The Community Development Technical Assistance (CD TA) HOPWA opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5300 N 18D) was a discretionary funding notice from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) aimed at strengthening performance across several HUD community development programs, including the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) program. The core purpose of this initiative was to fund technical assistance activities that help grantees and related program participants operate more effectively, improve compliance, and ultimately achieve better outcomes. While the CD TA umbrella covered five program areas HOME, CHDO (HOME), Homeless, HOPWA, and CDBG this specific listing highlights the HOPWA technical assistance component, which is tied to CFDA 14.241 (Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS).
Funding for the HOPWA technical assistance portion was set at an estimated total of $1,485,000 in federal funds, and HUD explicitly noted that this figure was a correction to an earlier error in the announcement about the total available amount. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of award. The funding instrument type was listed as "Other," which signals that the award mechanism may not fit neatly into a standard grant or cooperative agreement label as presented in the summary record, but it remains a HUD competitive funding opportunity under a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA).
The opportunity was categorized under community development and housing activities and was posted on September 8, 2009, with an application closing date of October 21, 2009 (with the archive date following shortly after on October 26, 2009). The short window between posting and closing suggests HUD expected applicants to already have the capacity and experience to respond quickly, which is common for technical assistance procurements or competitions where the applicant pool often includes established TA providers, intermediaries, or organizations with proven national or regional support infrastructure.
Eligibility for the CD TA program was not uniform across all five program areas. Instead, eligible applicants "vary by each program" under the broader CD TA NOFA. The announcement directs applicants to a chart in Section III.A of the full NOFA for the definitive list of who may apply under each program component. The listing also clarifies an important point that HUD does not directly fund individuals through its competitive NOFA process, so the intended applicants are organizations rather than individual persons seeking direct assistance. The public summary labels eligible applicants as "Others," meaning applicants likely included specific types of entities defined in the NOFA, such as nonprofits, governmental or quasi-governmental organizations, universities, or specialized technical assistance providers, depending on the program area.
In practical terms, the technical assistance funded through this opportunity was intended to help the field deliver stronger results under HOPWA and the other covered programs. Technical assistance in HUD contexts typically includes activities like training and capacity building, on-site or remote consultation, development of tools and guidance, support with program design and implementation, assistance with performance measurement and reporting, financial management support, and help navigating applicable federal requirements. The emphasis on achieving the "highest level of performance and results" indicates HUD was focused not only on compliance but also on measurable improvements in program execution and outcomes for communities served by these housing and community development programs, including people living with HIV/AIDS served through HOPWA-funded housing and supportive services.
For applicants and interested parties at the time, HUD provided an "Application Download Package using CFDA number ONLY," indicating the application materials were accessed through the standard federal application package process using the CFDA identifier. For technical issues accessing the full announcement electronically, the contact listed was Guadalupe M. Herrera, Deputy Director, reachable by phone at (202) 708-4604, reflecting HUDs standard practice of naming a program contact for NOFA-related access or process questions.
