Opportunity Summary:
The Economic Development Initiative - Neighborhood Initiative (EDI-NI) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: 2010 EDI NI) is a Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) program announcement tied to a specific set of congressionally directed awards rather than a typical open, competitive grant. It falls under the "Earmark" opportunity category, uses an "Other" funding instrument type, and is listed under the Housing funding activity category. The key practical takeaway is that this is not a program where organizations can submit a proposal on their own initiative and expect it to be considered; HUD explicitly states that no funds are available through unsolicited applications.
Eligibility for this opportunity is extremely limited. Only the entity specifically named by Congress in the Conference Report accompanying the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010 (H.R. 111-366) is eligible to apply for Neighborhood Initiative grant funds. In other words, even if an organization does work that aligns with neighborhood revitalization or economic development, it is not eligible unless it is the exact congressionally named recipient. HUD reinforces this point with a clear gatekeeping requirement: if an applicant has not received a letter from HUD instructing them to download the application package, they are not eligible to receive funds under this announcement. This makes the HUD letter a de facto prerequisite for participation, and the presence or absence of that letter determines whether an application will be considered.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was originally posted on February 22, 2010, with an original closing date of December 31, 2010. The record shows a later current closing date of August 1, 2012, and an archive date of September 2, 2012, indicating that the listing remained available for a period of time for the intended recipients to complete required submission steps, but it is now archived. The listing also notes that there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the designated recipient was not required to contribute matching funds as a condition of the award under this announcement.
For applicants who were actually invited and have trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, HUD provided a point of contact: Frank McNally, Director, at (202) 402-7100, listed as the program contact. The announcement also references an "Application Package Download" link under additional information, consistent with the instruction that only entities that received the HUD letter should proceed with downloading and completing the application materials.
