Opportunity Summary:
The Housing Counseling Training Grant (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5800 N 25) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) designed to strengthen the quality and consistency of housing counseling nationwide. HUD is offering these awards through cooperative agreements, which generally means HUD expects an active partnership with the awardees rather than a hands-off grant. The core purpose is to fund training activities that help improve and standardize the services delivered by housing counselors who work for organizations participating in HUD's Housing Counseling Program.
The target audience for the training supported by this grant is housing counselors employed by "participating agencies." In this context, participating agencies include the full network of HUD Housing Counseling Program participants: HUD-approved housing counseling agencies, intermediaries, affiliates and branches tied to HUD-approved intermediaries, HUD-approved multi-state organizations, and state housing finance agencies. The emphasis is not simply on producing training materials, but on improving counselor performance and ensuring more uniform counseling standards across the participating system.
Funding for this opportunity is estimated at $2,000,000 total, with an award ceiling of $2,000,000 and an award floor of $0, and HUD anticipates making about 4 awards. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which can lower the financial barrier to applying and make it easier for eligible nonprofits to propose robust training programs without needing to secure outside matching funds.
Eligibility is limited primarily to public or private nonprofit organizations that can document tax-exempt status under IRS section 501(a) pursuant to 501(c)(3). Beyond nonprofit status, HUD requires applicants to have at least two years of experience providing housing counseling training services on a nationwide basis, specifically to counselors employed by agencies in HUD's Housing Counseling Program. This experience requirement signals that HUD is looking for organizations with demonstrated capacity to deliver training at scale, across geographies, and with content relevant to HUD-aligned counseling work.
Applicants are allowed flexibility in how they deliver training, including using in-house staff, sub-grant recipients, qualified third-party trainers, consultants, or networks of local organizations that have the necessary experience and capacity. HUD strongly encourages partnerships with State Housing Finance Agencies (SHFAs), reflecting an interest in aligning training with state-level housing finance systems and leveraging established statewide infrastructures. Even when partnering, HUD requires that one organization serve as the primary applicant and lead the cooperative agreement.
Sub-grantees may include SHFAs as well as local or state housing coalitions that are public or private nonprofits, but they must either have the same 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status or be an established SHFA. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are explicitly ineligible, which keeps the competition focused on established U.S.-based institutional providers with organizational governance and accountability structures.
Key administrative details include a posted and creation date of April 3, 2014, an application closing date of May 5, 2014, and an archive date of June 4, 2014. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The assistance listing associated with the program is CFDA 14.316 (Housing Counseling Training Program), and the funding activity category is Housing.
