Opportunity Summary:
The Economic Development Initiative - Special Project Planning (EDI SPP) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: 2010 EDI SPP) is a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grant tied to a specific set of congressionally directed recipients rather than an open, competitive funding round. It falls under the "Earmark" opportunity category and is associated with HUD's housing-related funding activity area, using a funding instrument listed as "Other." In practical terms, this announcement is not meant for the general public, nonprofits, or local governments to discover and apply to on their own, even if their projects align with economic development or planning needs.
The most important restriction is that HUD is not accepting unsolicited applications. The notice states plainly that no funds are available through applications submitted without invitation. Eligibility is limited to only the entity specifically named by Congress in the Conference Report accompanying the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010 (H.R. 111-366). That means the intended recipient is predetermined in federal appropriations language, and HUD is simply administering the paperwork and compliance steps needed to distribute the funds to that named entity.
Because of that structure, the application process is effectively invitation-only. If an organization has not received a letter from HUD instructing it to download and submit the application package, HUD considers that organization ineligible for funding under this announcement. This is a common feature of earmarked or congressionally directed funding: the agency publishes an opportunity listing for transparency and administrative purposes, but the pool of eligible applicants is already fixed by statute or conference report language.
From an administrative standpoint, the listing shows the opportunity was posted on February 22, 2010, with records also indicating a creation date of December 29, 2010. The original closing date was December 31, 2010, and the closing date was later extended to August 1, 2012, with an archive date of September 1, 2012. It also specifies there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute a set percentage of non-federal funds as a condition of the award (though standard federal grant rules could still require appropriate budgeting, eligible cost documentation, and compliance with HUD and federal requirements).
Eligible applicants are described broadly as "Others," but that label is clarified by the eligibility statement: only the congressionally named entity can apply. Anyone else reviewing the notice should treat it as closed to outside applicants regardless of organizational type, mission, or project quality. For those who are the intended recipient and need access to the materials, the notice references an "Additional Information" link to download the application package, and it provides a program contact for assistance: Frank McNally at (202) 402-7100, specifically for issues accessing the full announcement electronically.
