Opportunity Summary:
The Housing Counseling Training Program (Funding Opportunity Number FR-5300-N-03) is a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) discretionary grant opportunity designed to strengthen and standardize the quality of housing counseling delivered through HUDs Housing Counseling Program. The core purpose is to fund national training activities, delivered under cooperative agreements with HUD, that improve the skills, consistency, and overall effectiveness of housing counselors working for participating agencies. In this context, participating agencies include the full range of organizations engaged in HUDs Housing Counseling Program: HUD-approved housing counseling agencies, HUD-approved intermediaries and their branches and affiliates, HUD-approved multi-state organizations, and state housing finance agencies.
The opportunity uses a grant funding instrument and is categorized under the Housing funding activity area (CFDA 14.316). HUD estimated total funding at $5,000,000, and the program does not require cost sharing or matching funds. The announcement was posted and created on June 16, 2009, with an application deadline of July 17, 2009, and it was archived on July 18, 2009.
Eligibility is limited to public or private nonprofit organizations that have tax-exempt status under section 501(a) pursuant to section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Applicants must generally have at least two years of experience providing, on a nationwide basis, most of the housing counseling training services identified in the NOFA (specifically those listed under Section III.C.2 and included in the applicants proposal). There is a narrow exception: an organization with at least two years of nationwide experience can apply even if it focuses exclusively on either reverse mortgage counseling training or fair lending abuse and mortgage fraud training. Applicants are allowed to deliver training through in-house staff and may also use sub-grant recipients, consultants, or networks of local organizations, but one organization must serve as the primary applicant. Any sub-grantees must also be public or private nonprofits with the same 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status.
A key program design requirement is that the Work Plan must show the applicant can cover all required housing counseling training topics referenced in Section III.C, unless the applicant is proposing an exclusive program limited to reverse mortgage counseling training or to fair lending abuse and mortgage fraud training. Another major required component is a scholarship element: the proposal must explain how it will cover full or partial participation costs for housing counselors, and this can include tuition as well as travel-related expenses such as transportation and hotel. Finally, the training program must be national in scope, meaning the effort is expected to serve housing counselors across the country rather than being limited to a single region or locality.
For applicants or interested parties who could not access the full announcement electronically, HUD provided a program contact: Gerard P. Donahoe, Jr., at (202) 402-3951. The announcement also referenced HUDs Funds Available webpage as an additional information source.
