Opportunity Summary:
The Healthy Homes Technical Studies Program is a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grant opportunity designed to fund technical research and applied studies that build practical knowledge on how to evaluate and control health and safety hazards found in housing. The core purpose is to improve both the effectiveness and the cost efficiency of methods used to identify, measure, prevent, and reduce housing-related hazards, especially in homes occupied by low- and very low-income residents. In doing so, the program aligns with HUDs broader strategy of using housing as a platform to improve quality of life and health outcomes for people living in HUD-assisted and HUD-regulated housing, while also supporting community goals tied to sustainability and reducing environmental impacts.
Program objectives emphasize two big outcomes. First, HUD aims to mobilize both public and private resources to develop and put into practice the most promising, cost-effective hazard-control approaches. This is meant to be a collaborative effort that includes all levels of government, private-sector partners, and community-based organizations, including faith-based and other nonprofit groups. Second, the program focuses on building lasting local capacity so that communities can sustain healthy homes work over time, continuing to prevent and control housing hazards even after HUD grant funding ends. The intent is not only to produce studies and findings, but also to strengthen the ability of local programs to keep operating and delivering measurable improvements in home health and safety.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning HUD anticipated a more active partnership role than in a typical formula grant. The funding activity category is Housing, and the CFDA number listed for the program is 14.906 (Healthy Homes Technical Studies Grants). HUD expected to make about five awards, with an estimated total program funding level of $2.5 million. Individual awards were expected to fall between $300,000 (award floor) and $700,000 (award ceiling). There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated, which can reduce barriers to participation for organizations that may have limited access to non-federal funds.
Eligibility was broad and included academic institutions, nonprofit and for-profit institutions located in the United States, state governments and units of local government, and federally recognized Native American tribes. A key restriction applied to for-profit entities: they were allowed to apply but could not earn a fee, meaning they could not take profit from the project beyond allowable costs. The announcement notes that additional eligibility details were provided in the full notice under an "Additional Information on Eligibility" section.
Key dates listed in the source information show the opportunity was posted on November 30, 2011, with an application deadline of January 31, 2012, and an archive date of February 7, 2012. Applicants were directed to download the application package using the CFDA number. For help, HUD provided contacts for both program and grants administration questions: Dr. Peter Ashley for programmatic questions (202-402-7595) and Ms. Nadine Heath for grants administrative questions (202-402-7680).
