Opportunity Summary:
This notice, issued by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under Funding Opportunity Number FR 5800 N 01, serves as the Department-wide "General Section" for HUD's Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 discretionary program Notices of Funding Availability (NOFAs). In practical terms, it is not a stand-alone grant with its own pot of money. Instead, it lays out the universal rules, baseline application standards, and cross-cutting federal requirements that apply across HUD's FY 2014 competitive discretionary grant announcements. Applicants are expected to use this General Section alongside the specific Program NOFA they are applying to, because the Program NOFA will add program-specific eligibility rules, eligible activities, thresholds, and any specialized limitations.
A key point in this notice is that there is no funding associated with it by itself. The notice functions as an umbrella set of instructions and requirements meant to reduce repetition across multiple program competitions. The Funding Activity Category is Housing, but the document is essentially procedural guidance governing how HUD runs its discretionary NOFA competitions during FY 2014. It also summarizes HUD's priorities and strategic goals for the year, which applicants are expected to understand and reflect in their proposals where relevant.
The structure HUD is describing works like this: the General Section provides the common requirements applicable to all of HUD's FY 2014 Program NOFAs, while each individual Program NOFA provides the details that differ from one program to another. Those program-specific details typically include who can apply (eligible applicant types), what the funding can pay for (eligible activities), what must be true just to be considered (threshold requirements), and other mandatory conditions or caps. The notice also highlights that applicants must address cross-program federal requirements that routinely apply to HUD grants, including nondiscrimination obligations and environmental protection-related requirements. Because these cross-cutting rules can affect project design, budgeting, implementation timelines, and compliance planning, HUD is signaling that an application is not complete unless it responds to both sets of instructions: the General Section and the relevant Program NOFA.
On eligibility and registration, the notice emphasizes a universal administrative requirement: all applicants must have a valid, active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) before submitting an application for federal financial assistance. This requirement is tied to federal regulations at 2 CFR 25.200, and it is a common gating item for federal awards. While the notice lists "Others" as eligible applicants in the broad posting, it makes clear that the specific applicant eligibility standards are defined in each Program NOFA. Another important clarification is that HUD does not provide grants directly to individuals through this process. HUD's competitive Program NOFAs and formula programs are designed for organizations and governmental or other eligible entities, not for personal direct-assistance applications.
From a timing and administrative standpoint, the notice was posted on February 19, 2014, with an original closing date of February 19, 2015 (and the current closing date remained the same). The archive date is February 20, 2015. These dates reflect the publication lifecycle of the umbrella notice rather than a single competition deadline for a single pot of funds; the actual due dates and submission instructions for a given grant competition are typically found in the specific Program NOFA.
For applicants looking for the full announcement and related resources, the notice points to HUD's "Funds Available" webpage as the central place to locate the General Section and the corresponding Program NOFAs. For access issues or questions tied to the General Section, HUD provided contact information for program analysts: Lyod LaMois (Supervisor Program Analyst, 202-402-3964) and Dorthera Yorkshire (Program Analysis, 202-402-4336). Overall, the main takeaway is that this notice is a department-wide rulebook for HUD FY 2014 discretionary grant competitions, and any serious applicant needs to treat it as required reading in combination with the specific Program NOFA governing the program they want to compete for.
FAQs: HUD FY 2014 Discretionary Program NOFAs - General Section (FON FR 5800 N 01)
What is Funding Opportunity Number FR 5800 N 01?
FR 5800 N 01 is a notice issued by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that serves as the Department-wide "General Section" for HUD's Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 discretionary program Notices of Funding Availability (NOFAs). It sets the common rules and baseline requirements that apply across HUD's FY 2014 competitive discretionary grant announcements.
Is this a stand-alone grant with its own funding?
No. This notice does not have funding associated with it by itself. It is not a stand-alone grant competition and does not represent a separate pot of money.
If there is no funding, why does this notice matter?
This General Section functions as an umbrella set of instructions that reduces repetition across multiple HUD program competitions. It lays out universal application standards and cross-cutting federal requirements that applicants must follow when applying to a specific FY 2014 HUD Program NOFA.
How should applicants use the General Section when applying?
Applicants are expected to use the General Section alongside the specific Program NOFA they are applying to. The General Section provides requirements that apply broadly, while the Program NOFA provides program-specific rules and instructions.
Where do the program-specific details appear?
Program-specific details are found in each individual Program NOFA. These typically include who can apply (eligible applicant types), what the funding can pay for (eligible activities), threshold requirements, and any specialized limitations, conditions, or caps.
What kinds of requirements are covered by the General Section?
The General Section covers universal rules, baseline application standards, and cross-cutting federal requirements that commonly apply to HUD grants, including requirements related to nondiscrimination and environmental protection. It also summarizes HUD priorities and strategic goals for FY 2014 that applicants should understand and reflect in proposals where relevant.
Does this notice define who is eligible to apply?
Not by itself. While a broad posting may list "Others" as eligible applicants, the notice makes clear that the specific applicant eligibility standards are defined in each Program NOFA.
Can individuals apply for HUD funding under this notice?
No. HUD does not provide grants directly to individuals through this process. HUD competitive Program NOFAs and formula programs are intended for organizations, governmental entities, or other eligible entities as defined in the specific Program NOFA.
What registrations are required before submitting an application?
All applicants must have a valid, active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) before submitting an application for federal financial assistance. The notice ties this requirement to 2 CFR 25.200.
What happens if an applicant does not have an active SAM registration?
Because the notice describes SAM registration as a universal administrative requirement for submitting an application for federal financial assistance, an inactive or missing SAM registration would prevent an applicant from meeting that requirement.
Are applicants required to address nondiscrimination and environmental requirements?
Yes. The notice highlights cross-program federal requirements that routinely apply to HUD grants, including nondiscrimination obligations and environmental protection-related requirements. Applicants are expected to address these requirements as part of a complete application package when combined with the relevant Program NOFA instructions.
Why does HUD emphasize cross-cutting federal requirements?
The notice signals that these requirements can affect project design, budgeting, implementation timelines, and compliance planning. HUD is indicating that an application is not complete unless it responds to both the General Section and the applicable Program NOFA.
What is the Funding Activity Category for this notice?
The Funding Activity Category is Housing. However, the notice is primarily procedural guidance describing how HUD runs its FY 2014 discretionary NOFA competitions rather than a single program competition.
What are the key dates associated with this notice?
The notice was posted on February 19, 2014. The original closing date was February 19, 2015, and the current closing date remained February 19, 2015. The archive date is February 20, 2015.
Do the closing and archive dates represent the application deadline for a specific grant?
No. These dates reflect the publication lifecycle of the umbrella notice. The actual due dates and submission instructions for a particular grant competition are typically found in the specific Program NOFA.
Where can applicants find the General Section and the relevant Program NOFAs?
The notice points applicants to HUD's "Funds Available" webpage as the central place to locate the General Section and the corresponding Program NOFAs.
Who can applicants contact with questions about the General Section?
For access issues or questions tied to the General Section, HUD provided the following contacts: Lyod LaMois (Supervisor Program Analyst, 202-402-3964) and Dorthera Yorkshire (Program Analysis, 202-402-4336).
What is the main takeaway for applicants?
This notice is a Department-wide rulebook for HUD FY 2014 discretionary grant competitions. Applicants should treat it as required reading and use it in combination with the specific Program NOFA for the program they want to apply to.
