New York announced a Unified Funding Request for Proposal, a competitive RFP process than allows applicants to apply for 11 different funding sources using one application. HCR is offering an accelerated Early Award option for shovel-ready projects that clearly advance State housing goals, such as Transit Oriented Development, Housing Opportunity Projects, and Mixed-Income, Mixed-Use Revitalization. For the first time, HCR is announcing its Early Award State housing goals several weeks prior to issuing the formal RFP to give developers, municipalities and not-for-profits additional time to plan for Early Award submissions which are due on October 6th. If an application does not receive an early funding award, it may be considered for an award as part of later funding round decisions. The deadline for all other Unified Funding applications is December 3.
HCR will hold application workshops as follows:
