HUD recently released the FY2013 NOFA for Choice Neighborhoods Implementation Grants on the Grants.gov website.  HUD will make approximately $109 million in grants to revitalize public and HUD-assisted housing and transform communities. Individual grant awards may be for up to a maximum of $30,000,000. 

The Choice Neighborhoods program focuses on three core goals:

  • Housing: Replace distressed public and assisted housing with high-quality mixed-income housing that is well-managed and responsive to the needs of the surrounding neighborhood.
  • People: Improve educational outcomes and intergenerational mobility for youth with services and supports delivered directly to youth and their families.
  • Neighborhood: Create the conditions necessary for public and private reinvestment in distressed neighborhoods to offer the kinds of amenities and assets, including safety, good schools, and commercial activity, that are important to families’ choices about their community.

Grant applications are due on Tuesday, September 10, 2013 and the application package can be found through the www.grants.gov website.  The CFDA number is 14.889.
