Opportunity Summary:
The Section 202 Demonstration Pre Development Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5564 N 01) is a discretionary HUD grant designed to help certain Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly projects cover early, up-front costs that often slow developments down. The core idea is to provide targeted pre-development money to Sponsors whose projects already received Fund Reservation Awards under the FY 2010 Section 202 NOFA (as amended to include FY 2011 appropriations). HUD created this as a demonstration effort because it recognizes that Section 202 deals can be complicated, and that many Sponsors struggle to move from a Fund Reservation award to Initial Closing within the required 18-month window when they do not have enough cash to pay for early planning and due diligence.
The funding is meant to pay for eligible pre-development expenses tied to getting a project ready to close and start development. Examples highlighted in the notice include architectural and engineering work, obtaining or securing site control, and other planning-related costs that are allowable under the Section 202 program. A key point is that HUD is not trying to replace or duplicate the Section 202 Capital Advance. Instead, this grant is meant to fill a common gap: many legitimate pre-development costs either cannot be reimbursed until Initial Closing or would otherwise have to be financed using non-Section-202 sources. In practice, this program functions as a bridge that lets Sponsors do the necessary early work without delaying the project timeline while they search for outside funds.
HUD also built an evaluation purpose into this program. After making awards, HUD intends to assess whether having dedicated pre-development dollars actually improves project performance, specifically whether it helps Sponsors expedite processing from Fund Reservation to Initial Closing within 18 months. The program is framed as a test of whether removing the up-front funding barrier leads to faster closings and fewer projects missing statutory or program deadlines.
In terms of scale, HUD anticipated about 100 awards with an estimated total program funding level of $20,000,000. The listed award ceiling is $400,000 per grant. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 14.157 (Supportive Housing for the Elderly). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which lowers barriers for nonprofits that may not have flexible cash resources available.
Eligibility is narrow and tied directly to the FY 2010 Section 202 competition. While the broader eligible applicant pool is described as private nonprofit organizations and nonprofit consumer cooperatives that submitted an application under the FY 2010 Section 202 NOFA, actual awards under this pre-development grant program are restricted to those applicants that were selected for Fund Reservation Awards under that FY 2010 NOFA. In other words, an organization could be a qualifying nonprofit, but if it was not selected for a Fund Reservation Award under the referenced Section 202 competition, it would not be able to receive funding under this particular demonstration grant.
The timeline reflects that the opportunity was posted December 5, 2011, with an original closing date of January 18, 2012. A technical correction extended the deadline to March 17, 2012, specifically to give five additional selected applicants more time to apply for the pre-development grant funds. The notice lists those five organizations by name and address: Eden Housing, Inc. (Hayward, CA), Fay Biccard Glick Neighborhood Center at Crooked (Indianapolis, IN), Volunteers of America National Services (Taylor, MI), Belmont Shelter Corporation (Buffalo, NY), and Preferred Properties, Inc. (Toledo, OH). The archive date is March 24, 2012, indicating the opportunity has closed.
For access and support, the announcement points applicants to download the application package and instructions using the CFDA number only. Program questions are directed to the appropriate local HUD office or to Denise Taylor Parker at HUD Headquarters (202-402-2892). Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a focused, time-limited HUD effort to speed up already-selected Section 202 elderly housing developments by paying for the pre-development work that can otherwise stall projects before they ever reach Initial Closing.
