Opportunity Summary:
The HOPE VI Main Street Grant Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) designed to help small communities revive historic or traditional downtown commercial areas. The central idea is to strengthen a community's "Main Street" by turning underused or vacant commercial space into affordable housing, or by building new affordable housing units that match the area’s existing traditional architecture. In practice, this program targets places where older downtown buildings and storefront corridors need reinvestment, and where adding well-designed housing can bring consistent foot traffic, support local businesses, and encourage broader neighborhood stabilization.
This particular funding notice (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5800 N 07) anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000 and an award ceiling of $500,000 (no stated minimum award floor). The assistance is provided as a grant under the housing funding activity category, and it is tied to CFDA number 14.878, which focuses on affordable housing development connected to Main Street rejuvenation projects. The opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient must contribute non-federal resources toward the overall project, consistent with the full program rules described in HUD’s complete announcement.
Eligibility is limited to local governments, specifically county governments and city or township governments. To qualify, the applicant local government must have a population of 50,000 or less. In addition, the community must not be served by a local government, county/parish, regional, or state public housing agency (PHA) that administers more than 100 physical public housing units within the applicant’s jurisdiction; importantly, Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) units are excluded from that count. The program does not allow joint applications, so only one eligible local government entity may apply as the primary applicant. However, the applicant is allowed to structure the project through subaward agreements with nonprofit organizations and state or local governments, and may also use subawards with for-profit entities such as developers or development managers (including subsidiaries created for tax credit purposes). Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive an award under this notice.
The application timeline for this archived opportunity shows it was posted on July 4, 2014, with an application deadline of August 18, 2014. Applications submitted electronically had to be received by 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was later archived on October 31, 2014. For applicants needing official details and forms at the time, HUD directed users to its grants information page and provided a point of contact for access issues: Lawrence Gnessin (Lawrence.Gnessin@hud.gov) in HUD’s Grants Policy office.
