Opportunity Summary:
The HUD Community Compass Technical Assistance and Capacity Building Program is a nationwide HUD initiative that funds organizations to deliver hands-on technical assistance, capacity building, and data analysis to HUD customers so they can run HUD-funded housing and community development programs more effectively. The central idea is practical support: helping communities and housing providers build the knowledge, skills, tools, internal systems, and staff capacity needed to successfully implement HUD requirements and policies, especially when the work involves multiple HUD programs at the same time.
Community Compass is designed as an integrated model, meaning it pulls together technical assistance priorities and resources from several HUD program offices rather than operating as a set of separate, siloed help desks. The program explicitly spans areas connected to housing and community development, including (but not limited to) Community Planning and Development, Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, Housing, and Public and Indian Housing. Because many local agencies, grantees, and tribes interact with several HUD programs while delivering services, Community Compass aims to provide coordinated, cross-program support that reflects how work happens on the ground.
Funding is awarded to technical assistance providers (not to individual beneficiaries) through cooperative agreements. Under this structure, HUD selects capable provider organizations and then deploys them as needs arise to places and projects HUD considers most urgent across the country. Providers may be chosen for broad, cross-cutting expertise or for more specialized skills, and HUD anticipates that selected organizations may work collaboratively in teams. Applicants are encouraged to build strong delivery teams by using subcontractors and consultants to cover a wide range of program and policy expertise, which signals that HUD values depth, flexibility, and the ability to scale support across different types of communities and HUD programs.
Eligible applicants are wide-ranging and include state, county, city or township governments; special district governments; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; nonprofits (both with and without 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education where specified); private and public institutions of higher education; for-profit organizations (other than small businesses); and small businesses. Eligibility also extends to NAHASDA-eligible Indian tribes, tribally designated housing entities (TDHEs), and national or regional organizations representing Native American housing interests. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations are not eligible, and HUD explicitly states it does not accept applications from individuals under this opportunity.
The archived competition details show this was a discretionary HUD funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5900 N 06) under CFDA 14.259. HUD expected to make about 18 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $44,900,000. Individual awards ranged from a $250,000 floor up to a $15,000,000 ceiling, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted August 12, 2015, and applications were due September 25, 2015 by 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time, with the archive date listed as October 25, 2015.
For questions, HUD directed inquiries to communitycompass@hud.gov, and a listed point of contact for access issues was Lauren Deigh (Lauren.S.Deigh@hud.gov). The general program information link provided was www.hud.gov.
