Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2010 TI Homeless Families Demonstration Small Grant Research Program (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5415 N 23A) was a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) discretionary grant opportunity, administered as a cooperative agreement through the Transformation Initiative Research Grants program (CFDA 14.525). It was designed to support a small set of targeted research efforts that would strengthen HUDs broader Homeless Families Demonstration being led by the Office of Policy Development and Research (PDandR). In plain terms, the funding was meant to add extra research capacity around the demonstration by paying for smaller, focused studies that could gather supplemental data, answer specific questions, or provide additional analyses that the main demonstration project needed.
This particular notice was not an open competition for new applicants. Instead, it functioned as a formal invitation for a second stage of review. HUD used it to notify applicants who had already submitted preliminary applications under the earlier FY 2010 Notice of Public Interest (NOPI), and whose pre-applications had been accepted, that they were now being asked to submit full applications in accordance with the original NOFA requirements. Because of that structure, eligibility was strictly limited to the handful of applicants HUD had already selected during the pre-application phase, and the notice explicitly stated that no other applications would be considered under this posting.
HUD expected to make about five awards, with an estimated total funding level of $275,000 and an award ceiling of $75,000 per project. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means selected applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of receiving an award. The activity category was housing, but the work itself was research-oriented, supporting evidence building related to homelessness among families and the performance, implementation, or outcomes of the demonstration initiative.
The eligible applicant list was narrowly defined and named directly in the notice: Cathy Hinko of the Metropolitan Housing Coalition (Louisville, KY); Dr. Richard Koenig of RK Development Solutions, Inc. (Oakland, MI); Ms. Amber Fink of the University of Minnesota (Minneapolis, MN); Ms. Elaine de Coligny of EveryoneHome (San Francisco, CA); and Mr. Patrick Moynihan of Cloudburst Consulting Group Inc. (Landover, MD). Only these entities, having been selected through the pre-application process tied to FR 5415 N 23, could submit full applications.
Key dates reflect that this was a time-limited step in the application pipeline. The opportunity was posted and created on April 8, 2011, with an application deadline of May 11, 2011, and it was archived shortly after, on May 17, 2011. Application materials were made available through an application package download using the CFDA number, consistent with Grants.gov style postings at the time. For administrative or access issues, HUD provided a point of contact, Elizabeth Rudd, at (202) 402-7607, and included the Federal Information Relay Service TTY line at (800) 877-8339 for applicants with speech or hearing impairments.
Overall, this grant notice was essentially a “proceed to full proposal” announcement for a small, invitation-only set of research awards. Its core purpose was to generate additional, practical research outputs that would complement HUDs Homeless Families Demonstration, improving the depth and usefulness of the evidence produced by the larger federal initiative.
