Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Native American Training and Technical Assistance (ONAP TTA) funding opportunity is a HUD discretionary program designed to strengthen the ability of tribal and Native Hawaiian housing programs to successfully plan, manage, and deliver housing activities funded through HUD block grants. In practical terms, the program pays qualified training and technical assistance providers to deliver hands-on support to eligible beneficiaries: federally recognized tribes and tribally designated housing entities (TDHEs) that receive Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) funds (including IHBG subrecipients), along with the Department of Hawaiian Homelands (DHHL) and Native Hawaiian Housing Block Grant (NHHBG) subrecipients. The focus is not on constructing housing directly through this award, but on improving capacity, compliance, and performance through training, technical guidance, and problem-solving support tied to these block grant programs.
HUD set this competition up to fund a mix of providers, including organizations that offer broad, multi-topic expertise and others with more specialized, targeted skills. The intent is to create a collaborative network of ONAP TTA providers that can be organized into teams and deployed nationwide as HUD determines needs arise. HUD emphasized cost-effective delivery, which signals an interest in providers that can scale assistance efficiently, coordinate with other providers, and respond to varying local conditions across Indian Country and Native Hawaiian housing systems. Management of the initiative is centralized at HUD headquarters, but the Area ONAP offices are expected to be deeply involved, meaning providers would likely coordinate with both national HUD leadership and regional/area staff to schedule assistance, align priorities, and ensure services match on-the-ground needs.
The funding instrument for this opportunity is a cooperative agreement, which generally implies a more active federal role than a standard grant. In a cooperative agreement model, HUD typically expects substantial involvement in shaping work plans, coordinating deployments, monitoring progress, and aligning technical assistance with program priorities. The funding activity is categorized as training and technical assistance, and the opportunity is associated with CFDA numbers 14.893 (IHBG training and technical assistance) and 14.894 (NHHBG training and technical assistance). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, so applicants would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of award.
Eligibility is structured into three categories with different applicant types and funding levels. Category One is limited to national and regional nonprofit organizations that represent Native American housing interests, with "representing" framed as having a primary organizational objective to serve Native Americans; approximately $2 million was available in this category. Category Two expands eligibility to include both national and regional nonprofits representing Native American housing interests and for-profit entities, with approximately $5 million available. Category Three is open to national or regional nonprofits and for-profit entities, with approximately $350,000 available, and HUD indicated it anticipated making only one award in this category. This tiered structure suggests HUD was looking to balance mission-driven representation in some awards while also allowing a broader market of specialized or high-capacity providers (including for-profits) to compete in other segments, particularly where niche expertise or scalable delivery methods might be needed.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on August 29, 2012, with an application deadline of October 16, 2012, and it was archived on October 25, 2012. The agency is the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the listing points applicants to the application package and instructions via CFDA number. A contact for access issues was provided: Mike Andrews, Director of ONAP Operations, at (202) 402-6329.
