Opportunity Summary:
The Hispanic Serving Institutions Assisting Communities (HSIAC) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5415 N 03) is a discretionary grant program from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) designed to strengthen the capacity of Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) to take a larger, more effective role in meeting local community development needs. The program focuses on practical, place-based work in areas such as neighborhood revitalization, housing-related initiatives, and economic development activities, with an emphasis on serving people and households with low and moderate incomes. The underlying purpose is aligned with Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.), meaning projects should clearly connect to community development goals that improve living conditions, expand opportunity, and address local challenges in ways consistent with HUDs community development mission.
Funding is provided through grants with no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for eligible institutions to apply. HUD estimated total funding at $6,000,000 for the competition, with an award ceiling of $600,000 per grant. The award floor is listed as $0, indicating there is no stated minimum award amount, although actual awards would typically depend on the scope, competitiveness, and appropriateness of the proposed project. The program was posted on July 16, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 16, 2010, and it was later archived on August 18, 2010.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit Hispanic Serving Institutions that meet the statutory definition of an HSI under Title V of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (20 U.S.C. 1101). In practical terms, the institution must have at least 25 percent Hispanic full-time undergraduate enrollment. Applicants must also be fully accredited institutions of higher education that grant two-year or four-year degrees, and the accreditation must be from a national or regional accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. Importantly, an institution does not have to appear on the U.S. Department of Educations published list of eligible HSIs to apply, but if it is not on the list, it must include a statement in the application affirming that it meets the statutory definition.
The application rules also make clear how campuses are treated: an institution may submit a separate application for each campus, but only one application per campus is allowed. If multiple applications come from the same campus, HUD will disqualify all of them, so institutions with multi-campus structures would need internal coordination to ensure compliance.
The opportunity is categorized under several related activity areas, including community development, housing, education, employment/labor and training, and information and statistics, reflecting the programs expectation that HSIs can contribute not only through direct service or development activities but also through planning, training, research, data work, and community partnerships that support measurable community outcomes. For access to the full announcement materials, the posting referenced Grants.gov (https://apply07.grants.gov/apply/). The notice also provided points of contact for help obtaining or accessing the full announcement: Madlyn Wohlman Rodriguez at (202) 402-5939 and Susan Brunson at (202) 402-3852.
