Opportunity Information: Apply for FR 6100 N 07
The Capacity Building for Community Development and Affordable Housing Grants (Section 4) opportunity is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under CFDA 14.252. Its central purpose is to strengthen the ability of community development corporations (CDCs) and community housing development organizations (CHDOs) to successfully plan, manage, and deliver affordable housing and broader community development work that benefits low- and moderate-income people. Rather than funding local organizations directly as primary grantees, the program is designed to fund national intermediaries that can provide capacity-building resources and assistance to CDCs and CHDOs across communities.
The grant supports a mix of hands-on capacity building and targeted financial assistance meant to help local CDCs and CHDOs execute real projects. Eligible uses include training, education, and ongoing technical support that improve both technical skills (like housing development, project feasibility, financing, and compliance) and administrative capabilities (like governance, financial management, internal controls, reporting, and organizational systems). A specific emphasis is placed on strengthening an organization’s ability to participate meaningfully in coordinated local planning processes, including consolidated planning efforts, fair housing planning, and Continuum of Care homeless assistance coordination. In practice, this means helping community-based organizations engage in community-wide needs assessments, consult broadly with residents and stakeholders, plan cooperatively for how available resources will be used, connect planning efforts across jurisdictions to support regional approaches, and evaluate how well community plans are being implemented.
In addition to training and technical assistance, Section 4 funds can also be used to provide financial support to CDCs and CHDOs through tools such as loans, pass-through grants, development assistance, and predevelopment assistance. This financial support is intended to advance affordable housing and community development activities serving low-income or low- and moderate-income households. Examples described in the opportunity include acquiring, constructing, or rehabilitating housing, as well as community and economic development activities that create jobs for low-income people. The program also allows flexibility for other activities, as determined by the grantees in consultation with the HUD Secretary (or a designee), which gives intermediaries room to tailor capacity-building approaches to what is most effective in the field.
Program priorities focus on alignment with and support for other HUD programs and community revitalization goals. Activities carried out through Section 4 capacity building are expected to reinforce implementation of major HUD funding streams and systems, including the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, the HOME Investment Partnerships program, Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA), and the Continuum of Care program. Beyond alignment with these programs, HUD highlights priorities connected to sustainability and comprehensive neighborhood revitalization. Grantees are encouraged to direct their support toward projects and strategies that contribute to transformative revitalization, job growth, economic recovery, and neighborhood improvement. The notice also encourages intermediaries and supported organizations to consider how local investments can connect to regional planning for sustainable economic development when those regional efforts exist.
