Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) Policy Requirements and General Section (Funding Opportunity Number FR-5700-N-01) is a Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) government-wide style notice that functions as a common rulebook for HUDs FY2013 competitive NOFA programs. It is not a standalone grant with money attached. Instead, it lays out the standard requirements, policy expectations, and application-wide rules that apply across HUDs individual FY2013 program NOFAs. The key point is that anyone applying to a specific HUD program NOFA in FY2013 is expected to use this General Section alongside the program-specific NOFA, because the General Section covers baseline requirements while each individual program NOFA adds its own eligibility criteria, activities, and additional conditions.
A central purpose of the General Section is to explain HUDs policy priorities and show how those priorities connect to HUDs Strategic Plan goals for FY2010 to FY2015. In practical terms, it tells applicants what HUD is trying to accomplish at a department level and how HUD expects funded projects to align with those broader goals. While the specific priorities and scoring details are typically spelled out in each program NOFA, the General Section is where HUD frames the overarching direction for FY2013 and signals what kinds of approaches, outcomes, and compliance postures HUD expects to see across programs.
The notice also clarifies the division of responsibilities between the General Section and the individual program NOFAs. The General Section establishes the general procedural and policy requirements that cut across programs, while the individual program NOFAs provide the details that actually determine whether you can apply and what you can propose. Those program notices describe eligible applicants, eligible activities, threshold requirements that must be met just to be considered, and any program-specific requirements or limitations. They also describe cross-program requirements that frequently apply in federal funding contexts, such as nondiscrimination obligations and environmental protection or review requirements. The takeaway is that an application that responds only to a program NOFA but ignores the General Section can easily miss required certifications, standard assurances, or policy-related expectations that HUD treats as mandatory.
This opportunity is explicitly labeled as having no funding associated with it. HUD repeats this several times to avoid confusion: this is guidance and requirements, not a pot of money. Even though the listing includes typical federal opportunity fields like "FundingInstrumentType: Cooperative Agreement, Grant" and a closing date, those fields should be read as part of the Grants.gov style posting format rather than evidence that this particular notice will award funds. The General Section supports and governs other FY2013 program competitions that do have funding, and it exists so HUD does not have to restate the same department-wide requirements in every single program NOFA.
On eligibility, the notice makes clear that eligibility is not determined at the General Section level. Instead, each individual program NOFA defines who may apply. It also cautions applicants that HUD does not directly fund individuals through its formula-based programs or through the competitive program NOFA process, which is an important screening point for anyone applying as an individual rather than as an organization or eligible entity. In other words, you need to look to the specific program NOFA to confirm that your organization type is eligible, and you should not assume that the existence of this General Section means you can apply for funding under it.
From an administrative standpoint, the notice was posted August 8, 2012, with an original and current closing date of December 31, 2013, and an archive date of January 31, 2014. Those dates reflect the period during which the General Section was active as the governing guidance for FY2013 program NOFAs. The listing points users to HUDs broader NOFA listings (via the Housing and Urban Development listing reference) so applicants can locate the actual program competitions that pair with this General Section.
For questions or access issues, HUD directs applicants to contact the Office of Strategic Planning and Management at 202-708-0667 (not toll-free) and indicates that questions may be emailed to the person listed in the full announcement. Overall, the notice is best understood as required reading for anyone applying to HUD competitive programs in FY2013: it sets the universal policy and compliance baseline, explains how HUDs priorities relate to its strategic plan, and tells applicants to carefully follow both this General Section and the relevant program NOFA to avoid missing mandatory requirements.
FAQs: HUD FY2013 NOFA Policy Requirements and General Section (FR-5700-N-01)
1) What is FR-5700-N-01 (the FY2013 NOFA Policy Requirements and General Section)?
It is a HUD "government-wide style" notice that works like a common rulebook for HUD's FY2013 competitive NOFA programs. It lays out standard policy requirements, procedural expectations, and application-wide rules that apply across HUD's individual FY2013 program NOFAs.
2) Is this a standalone grant that provides funding?
No. The notice is explicitly labeled as having no funding associated with it. HUD repeats that this is guidance and requirements, not a pot of money.
3) If there is no funding, why does the posting show fields like "Funding Instrument Type: Grant/Cooperative Agreement" and a closing date?
Those fields are part of the Grants.gov-style posting format. They should not be read as evidence that this particular notice will award funds. The General Section supports and governs other FY2013 program competitions that do have funding.
4) What is the purpose of the General Section?
Its central purpose is to explain HUD's department-level policy priorities for FY2013 and how those priorities connect to HUD's Strategic Plan goals for FY2010 to FY2015. It frames the overarching direction HUD expects across FY2013 programs and sets a universal baseline for policy and compliance.
5) How does this General Section relate to individual HUD program NOFAs?
Applicants are expected to use the General Section alongside the program-specific NOFA. The General Section provides cross-cutting baseline rules and expectations, while each program NOFA provides the details that determine what you can apply for and what you can propose under that specific program.
6) What does the General Section cover versus what the program NOFA covers?
The General Section establishes general procedural and policy requirements that cut across programs. Individual program NOFAs provide the program-level details, including eligible applicants, eligible activities, threshold requirements, and any program-specific limitations or additional conditions.
7) Where is eligibility determined?
Eligibility is not determined at the General Section level. Each individual program NOFA defines who may apply.
8) Can an individual person apply for funding using this notice?
The notice cautions that HUD does not directly fund individuals through its formula-based programs or through the competitive program NOFA process. You must check the specific program NOFA to confirm whether your organization type is eligible, and you should not assume this General Section creates eligibility.
9) What happens if I follow only the program NOFA and ignore the General Section?
The notice warns that an application that responds only to a program NOFA but ignores the General Section can miss required certifications, standard assurances, or policy-related expectations HUD treats as mandatory.
10) Does the General Section include the exact scoring criteria for my application?
Not typically. While the General Section explains HUD's overarching direction and policy priorities, the specific priorities and scoring details are typically spelled out in each program NOFA.
11) What kinds of cross-program requirements are referenced as commonly applying in HUD funding contexts?
The description notes that program NOFAs commonly describe cross-program federal funding requirements such as nondiscrimination obligations and environmental protection or environmental review requirements, along with other baseline compliance expectations.
12) Why did HUD issue a single General Section instead of repeating requirements in every program NOFA?
The General Section exists so HUD does not have to restate the same department-wide requirements in every single program NOFA. It standardizes baseline requirements across programs.
13) What are the key dates for this notice?
It was posted on August 8, 2012. The original and current closing date listed is December 31, 2013. The archive date is January 31, 2014. These dates reflect the period when the General Section was active as governing guidance for FY2013 program NOFAs.
14) Does the closing date mean I can submit an application to this General Section by that date?
No. The notice itself does not have funding and is not an application for money. The dates reflect when the General Section was active as governing guidance for FY2013 program NOFAs, not a standalone submission deadline for funding under this notice.
15) How do I find the actual FY2013 HUD competitions that have funding?
The listing points users to HUD's broader NOFA listings (via the Housing and Urban Development listing reference) so applicants can locate the actual program competitions that pair with this General Section.
16) Who should use this General Section?
It is best understood as required reading for anyone applying to HUD competitive programs in FY2013. HUD expects applicants to follow both the General Section and the relevant program NOFA to avoid missing mandatory requirements.
17) What office is listed for questions or access issues?
HUD directs applicants to contact the Office of Strategic Planning and Management at 202-708-0667 (not toll-free). The notice also indicates that questions may be emailed to the person listed in the full announcement.
18) What is the main takeaway for applicants?
Do not treat this as a funding opportunity by itself. Use it as the baseline rulebook that governs HUD FY2013 competitive program NOFAs, and make sure your application addresses both the General Section and the specific program NOFA so required certifications, assurances, and policy expectations are not missed.
