Opportunity Summary:
The Economic Development Initiative (EDI) Special Project grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: 2010 EDI SP) is a highly restricted, congressionally directed HUD funding announcement tied to the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010. It is categorized as an earmark opportunity and falls under the housing funding activity area. The key practical takeaway is that this is not an open, competitive grant program and it is not intended for general public applications.
Eligibility is limited to a single, very specific class of applicants: only the entity (or entities) explicitly named by Congress in the Conference Report accompanying the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010 (H.R. 111-366) can apply for EDI Special Project funds. HUD makes clear that no funds are available through unsolicited applications. In other words, organizations that were not designated by Congress and directly notified by HUD should not expect to be considered, regardless of project merit or alignment with economic development goals.
HUD also states that an applicant must have received a letter from HUD advising them to download the application package to be eligible under this announcement. That letter functions as the gatekeeping mechanism: if an organization did not receive HUD correspondence instructing them to access and submit the application materials, they are not eligible to receive funds under this opportunity. The “Eligible Applicants†field is broadly labeled as “Others,†but the accompanying eligibility language narrows it to only the congressionally named recipient(s), meaning the apparent breadth is not actually available in practice.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted on February 22, 2010, with an original closing date of December 31, 2010, later showing a current closing date of August 1, 2012, and an archive date of September 1, 2012. The announcement indicates there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument type is listed as “Other,†consistent with earmarked or special project awards that do not necessarily follow the structure of more typical discretionary grant competitions.
For application access, HUD provides an “Additional Information†link described as “Download Application Package,†but again, that access is only meaningful for entities that have been specifically invited/authorized by HUD through the notification letter. For assistance with the full announcement or electronic access issues, the point of contact listed is Frank McNally, Director, at (202) 402-7100.
