Fiscal Year 2008 Economic Development Initiative Special Project, Neighborhood Initiative and Miscellaneous Grants | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Fiscal Year 2008 Economic Development Initiative Special Project, Neighborhood Initiative and Miscellaneous Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FR 0000 N 01) is a Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grant announcement tied to congressional earmarks rather than an open, competitive funding round. Although it sits under the broad activity area of community development and housing, it is not designed for the general public to discover and apply to on their own. The core message of the notice is restrictive: no funding is available through unsolicited applications, and eligibility is limited to a specific set of recipients already identified by Congress.

Eligibility is narrowly defined. Only the entities specifically named by Congress in the Congressional Record dated December 17, 2007 are allowed to apply for funds under this announcement. HUD reinforces this limitation in plain terms: if an organization has not received an official letter from HUD directing it to download the application package, then it is not eligible and should not apply. In practice, this means the funding is effectively pre-designated, and the application process functions more as an administrative step for the named recipients to finalize required paperwork and comply with federal grant processing requirements.

From an administrative standpoint, the listing notes that the funding instrument is a grant and the opportunity category is labeled as an earmark. The posting date is May 8, 2009, with an original closing date of September 23, 2010, and the current closing date remaining September 23, 2010. The record also indicates the opportunity was created in the system on October 13, 2011, which reflects when the opportunity record was entered or updated in the database rather than when the underlying funding was first authorized. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement indicated, meaning recipients generally are not required to provide a non-federal match as a condition of the award under this notice.

The announcement includes a procedural update about the SF-424 Application for Federal Assistance form. It states that the SF-424 has been modified and that the application package contains the revised form. Importantly, it also clarifies that applicants who already submitted an application do not need to resubmit solely because of this form change. This suggests HUD made an administrative correction or update to the application package after some submissions had already been received, and the agency did not want to burden applicants with duplicate submissions.

Award floor and award ceiling values are both shown as 0 in the listing. In earmark-type announcements, this often reflects that award amounts vary by the specific congressional designation and may not be represented in a single standardized range within the public listing, or that the system entry does not capture the earmarked award sizes in the same way as competitive programs. In any case, the notice itself provides no promise of funding availability to anyone outside the named entities.

For access and submission, the notice points users to apply through Grants.gov, but again, only those directed by HUD are intended to use the package. For support, HUD provides a contact for issues accessing the full announcement electronically: Loyd LaMois, Supervisory Program Analyst, at (202) 708-0317. The notice also references help with electronic submission, indicating there is technical support available for the online application process, which is typical for federal grant submissions handled through Grants.gov.

Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a targeted, congressionally directed set of grants administered by HUD, where the universe of eligible applicants is fixed in advance, and the public-facing announcement primarily serves as the formal mechanism for the designated recipients to complete required federal application and compliance steps. Organizations not explicitly named in the Congressional Record and not contacted by HUD are not eligible to receive funds under this announcement.
