Opportunity Information: Apply for FR 6200 N 07
The Section 4 Capacity Building for Community Development and Affordable Housing Grants (Section 4) is a discretionary grant program run by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under CFDA 14.252. Its core goal is to strengthen the on-the-ground effectiveness of community development corporations (CDCs) and community housing development organizations (CHDOs) by funding national intermediary organizations that can deliver capacity-building support at scale. In practical terms, the program is designed to help CDCs and CHDOs become more technically capable, better managed, and more effective at planning and delivering affordable housing and community development projects that primarily benefit low- and moderate-income households and individuals.
A central feature of this opportunity is that funds are meant to flow through national intermediaries, which then provide assistance to local CDCs and CHDOs. The eligible uses of funding emphasize both organizational capacity and project execution. On the capacity side, grant funds can be used for training, education, technical support, and advisory services that improve administrative and technical skills. This includes helping local organizations participate meaningfully in key community-wide planning systems such as consolidated planning, fair housing planning, and Continuum of Care efforts related to homeless assistance. The intent is to ensure that CDCs and CHDOs can contribute to area-wide needs assessments, engage in broad community consultation, and take part in cooperative planning that coordinates available resources in a comprehensive, holistic way. Capacity-building support can also include helping organizations evaluate performance under these planning frameworks and connect their local strategies with neighboring jurisdictions to support regional approaches where appropriate.
On the direct assistance and project support side, Section 4 funds may be used to provide loans, pass-through grants, development assistance, predevelopment assistance, and other forms of financial support to CDCs and CHDOs. These resources are meant to help carry out affordable housing and broader community development activities benefiting low-income or low- and moderate-income people. Eligible housing-related activities explicitly include the acquisition, construction, and rehabilitation of housing for qualifying households. In addition to housing, the program also supports community and economic development efforts that create jobs for low-income persons, reflecting the program's broader community development purpose. The notice also allows for other activities if determined appropriate by the grantees in consultation with the HUD Secretary or the Secretary's designee, giving intermediaries some flexibility to tailor support to field needs while staying aligned with HUD priorities.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted under Funding Opportunity Number FR 6200 N 07, categorized as a discretionary grant. The total award ceiling listed is $35,000,000, with an expectation of 3 awards, which reinforces that HUD anticipated making a small number of large awards to intermediaries rather than many small awards to local entities. The opportunity was created on Aug 24, 2018, with an original application closing date of Oct 24, 2018. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with further clarification referenced in the full notice under additional eligibility information, consistent with the intermediary-focused structure of the program.Apply for FR 6200 N 07
