Fiscal Year 2009 Economic Development Initiative Special Project, Planning and Neighborhood Initiative Grants | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Fiscal Year 2009 Economic Development Initiative Special Project, Planning and Neighborhood Initiative Grants (Funding Opportunity Number: US 2009 N 00) was a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the broader funding activity area of community development and housing. It was posted on May 6, 2009 (with later record updates reflected by a creation date of Oct 13, 2011) and, at least administratively, showed an original closing date of Dec 31, 2009 and a later current closing date of Sep 22, 2011. The funding instrument was a grant, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement indicated.

The most important practical detail about this opportunity is that it was not open for general competition. HUD explicitly stated that no funds were available through unsolicited applications. In other words, organizations could not simply decide to apply and compete for funding through the normal open-notice process. Eligibility was limited only to the specific entities that Congress named in the Committee Print of the Committee on Appropriations of the U.S. House of Representatives (March 2009). HUD reinforced this restriction in multiple places: if an organization did not receive a letter from HUD directing it to download the application package, then that organization was not eligible to receive funds under the announcement. The listed eligible applicant type was essentially "Others," with the real eligibility definition controlled by that congressional naming process rather than by broad categories like state or local governments, nonprofits, or universities.

From an application-process perspective, HUD noted an administrative update to the required federal application form: the SF-424 (Application for Federal Assistance) had been modified, and the application package contained a revised version of the form. HUD also clarified that applicants who had already submitted an application did not need to resubmit solely because of the SF-424 update. That kind of note generally signals that the program was managing a defined pool of invited applicants and wanted to avoid duplicate submissions while still ensuring the official package contained current forms.

For support and access issues, HUD provided a point of contact through its Congressional Grants Division, indicating that applicants experiencing difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically should reach out to the listed contact person. This fits with the program design: because eligibility depended on congressional designation and HUD notification, assistance was geared toward those specific invited entities navigating the required submission steps rather than toward general public outreach.

In short, this HUD FY2009 EDI Special Project/Planning and Neighborhood Initiative grant notice functioned primarily as an administrative vehicle for distributing congressionally directed awards to a predetermined list of recipients, not as an open grant competition. If an organization was not named in the referenced congressional committee print and did not receive the HUD letter instructing it to access the application package, it could not qualify for funding under this announcement.
