Opportunity Summary:
The Community Development Technical Assistance (CD TA) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5200 N 19D) is a discretionary grant program from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) designed to strengthen how key HUD community development programs are carried out on the ground. The central aim is not to directly fund housing or service projects, but to fund technical assistance that helps jurisdictions, service providers, and other program participants operate at a higher level of effectiveness, compliance, and measurable performance. In practical terms, the grant supports expert help, training, guidance, and capacity-building so that recipients of HUD community development funds can meet program rules, improve outcomes, and manage resources responsibly.
This technical assistance is organized around five distinct HUD community development program areas: (1) HOME, (2) CHDO (HOME), (3) Homeless, (4) HOPWA, and (5) CDBG. HOME refers to the HOME Investment Partnerships Program, which generally supports affordable housing for low-income households through activities like housing development, rehabilitation, and tenant-based assistance. CHDO (HOME) focuses on Community Housing Development Organizations, which are nonprofit, community-based developers that play a special role within HOME; technical assistance in this area typically centers on helping CHDOs build development, financial, and administrative capacity and helping participating jurisdictions effectively integrate CHDOs into their HOME strategies. The Homeless program area covers HUD’s homeless assistance framework, where technical assistance often targets planning, implementation, performance measurement, and compliance for homeless housing and supportive service systems. HOPWA stands for Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS and supports housing and related services for people living with HIV/AIDS; technical assistance here commonly helps grantees design effective service models, meet eligibility and reporting requirements, and coordinate with health and housing partners. CDBG is the Community Development Block Grant program, a flexible funding stream used by states and localities for a wide range of community development activities, so technical assistance often emphasizes eligible-use compliance, national objectives, citizen participation requirements, fair housing and civil rights obligations, financial management, and strong program design.
The opportunity uses the grant funding instrument and falls under the Community Development funding activity category. The published materials note a “technical correction” that appeared in the Federal Register and is provided in the instructions download, meaning applicants were expected to consult the posted correction to ensure they relied on the most accurate requirements and directions. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally lowers the barrier to entry for qualified applicants because applicants are not required to contribute a specific non-federal share.
The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is listed as $27,920,000, indicating that awards could be sizeable depending on HUD’s structure for selecting and funding technical assistance providers. Eligibility is described as “Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification),” with the key detail that eligible applicants for each of the five CD TA program areas are specified in a chart contained in the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). The announcement also explicitly aligns with the President’s faith-based initiative, stating that HUD welcomes participation from eligible faith-based organizations as well as other community organizations, so long as they meet the eligibility conditions laid out in the NOFA for the particular technical assistance program area.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted May 4, 2008, with an original and current closing date of July 3, 2008, and an archive date of July 4, 2008. In other words, this specific round is historical and no longer open, but it provides a clear picture of how HUD framed and administered community development technical assistance competitions during that period. Applicants were directed to download the application package via the provided application package web page, and the program contact for access issues was Mark Horwath at 202-708-3176.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a capacity-and-performance investment by HUD: funding specialized technical assistance so that HOME, CHDO, Homeless, HOPWA, and CDBG stakeholders can implement their programs more effectively, meet regulatory requirements, improve accountability, and deliver stronger community development and housing outcomes. For program background, missions, goals, and eligible activities for each of the five program areas, the announcement points applicants to HUD’s website (www.hud.gov).
