Opportunity Summary:

The Office of Native American Training and Technical Assistance (ONAP TTA) funding opportunity is a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) discretionary grant program designed to strengthen the capacity of Native housing recipients by paying qualified organizations to deliver training and hands-on technical assistance. The core goal is to help eligible Indian tribes, Tribally Designated Housing Entities (TDHEs), and their subrecipients that receive Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) funds under the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act (NAHASDA). It also supports the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) and subrecipients receiving Native Hawaiian Housing Block Grant (NHHBG) funds under Title VIII of NAHASDA. Throughout the notice, these groups are collectively referred to as "TTA beneficiaries."

The program is structured so that HUD Headquarters centrally manages the initiative, with extensive involvement from HUD's Area Offices of Native American Programs (Area ONAPs). Rather than funding only one provider, HUD intends to make multiple awards to a mix of training and technical assistance providers, including those with broad, comprehensive expertise and those with specialized, targeted capabilities. Selected providers are expected to work collaboratively, often in teams with other providers and in coordination with ONAP staff, and they may be deployed wherever HUD determines there is need across the country. A major emphasis is cost-effective delivery, meaning HUD is looking for providers that can deliver meaningful results while using funds efficiently.

This opportunity is issued under Funding Opportunity Number FR 5700 N 26 and uses the cooperative agreement funding instrument, which typically signals a more active role for HUD in shaping or participating in the funded work than a standard grant. The funding activity is categorized as Training and Technical Assistance. The CFDA programs associated with this solicitation are 14.893 (ONAP Training and Technical Assistance for the IHBG Program) and 14.894 (ONAP Training and Technical Assistance for the NHHBG Program). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.

HUD anticipated making about 8 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $4,568,107. Individual awards could range from a floor of $568,107 up to a ceiling of $2,000,000, depending on the category and scope of the proposal. The notice was posted on June 24, 2013, and the application deadline was July 25, 2013, with the opportunity archived on August 25, 2013.

Eligibility is organized into three funding categories with different eligible applicant types and target beneficiaries. Category One offers up to $2,000,000 for national and regional nonprofit organizations that represent Native American housing interests and will provide TTA to IHBG-eligible tribes and TDHEs (and their subrecipients). In this category, "representing Native American housing interests" requires an applicant to show that its primary objective is to serve Native Americans. Category Two also offers up to $2,000,000, but it is open to national and regional nonprofit organizations as well as for-profit entities, as long as they have experience representing Native American housing interests, again to deliver TTA to IHBG-eligible tribes/TDHEs and subrecipients. Category Three provides up to $568,107 for national and regional nonprofits and for-profit entities to deliver TTA specifically to DHHL and subrecipients of NHHBG funds.

In practical terms, applicants under this solicitation are not the tribes or housing entities receiving IHBG or NHHBG funds; instead, applicants are the organizations that will serve as training and technical assistance providers to those beneficiaries. HUD's stated intent is to fund a blend of providers so that the overall program can cover a wide range of capacity-building needs while still allowing specialized support where it is most needed. For applicants or interested parties seeking the full announcement and instructions, HUD directs users to download the application materials using the CFDA number, and a contact person is identified for access issues: Mike Andrews, Director of ONAP Operations.
