Opportunity Summary:
The Emergency Capital Repair Grants for Multifamily Housing Projects opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5262 N 01) is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Its purpose is to provide grant funding for urgent, emergency capital repairs in eligible multifamily assisted housing developments that are owned by private nonprofit organizations and designated for occupancy by elderly tenants. The central requirement is that the repair needs must be tied to conditions that pose an immediate threat to residents health, safety, and overall quality of life, meaning the program is focused on critical, time-sensitive building deficiencies rather than routine upkeep or long-term modernization.
Eligible applicants are limited to private nonprofit owners of qualifying multifamily assisted housing developments serving elderly tenants. In the public listing, eligibility is shown as "Others," but the detailed eligibility restriction clarifies that only this specific owner type and project type can apply. HUD indicates that applicants should rely on the official Instructions and Application Package for the full definition of eligible properties, eligible repair activities, and application requirements, since those details govern what HUD will accept as an emergency repair and what documentation must be submitted to support the request.
The funding instrument is a grant, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute a set percentage of non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The activity category is Housing, aligning the program with capital repair work intended to protect residents and preserve the viability of assisted multifamily housing for seniors.
Key timing details in the announcement show that the opportunity was posted on November 25, 2008, with an original closing date of October 1, 2009, but the closing date was later changed. The current closing date listed is March 5, 2009, with a note explicitly stating that the closing date is being changed to March 05, 2009. The archive date is March 6, 2009, indicating the opportunity was expected to be closed and then archived immediately after the revised deadline. Anyone preparing an application would have needed to follow the revised deadline rather than the original closing date.
For access to the full announcement materials, HUD provides an Additional Information link described as "Download for Instructions and Application Package," which is where applicants would find the authoritative requirements, forms, and submission steps. For help obtaining or accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is G. DeWay Kimbrough, Director, Office of Grant and Housing Assistance Field Support Division, reachable at 202-708-3000, with a separate line for hearing or speech impairments at 1-877-8339.
