Choice Neighborhoods Implementation Grant Program | FR 6000 N 34

Opportunity Information: Apply for FR 6000 N 34

The Choice Neighborhoods Implementation Grant Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) designed to fund the on-the-ground implementation of comprehensive neighborhood revitalization plans. The program focuses on turning around neighborhoods with distressed public or assisted housing by supporting large, coordinated efforts that address housing conditions, resident outcomes, and the broader neighborhood environment at the same time, rather than treating these issues separately.

At the center of the program are three core goals. The first is Housing: grantees are expected to replace severely distressed public and assisted housing with high-quality, mixed-income housing. This replacement housing is meant to be properly managed, sustainable over time, and responsive not only to current residents but also to the needs and dynamics of the surrounding neighborhood. The second goal is People: the program emphasizes improving educational outcomes and boosting intergenerational mobility for young people. That typically means providing services and supports that reach youth directly and also assist their families, with the idea that stable housing paired with strong, targeted supports can change long-term life trajectories. The third goal is Neighborhood: the grant aims to help create the conditions that attract and sustain public and private reinvestment in historically distressed areas. HUD highlights practical neighborhood assets that shape families decisions about where to live, such as safety, strong schools, and healthy commercial activity, along with other amenities that contribute to a functioning, opportunity-rich community.

Eligibility is limited to organizational applicants with a clear public or community development role. Eligible applicants include Public Housing Authorities (PHAs), local governments, tribal entities, and nonprofit organizations. For-profit developers can also participate, but only when applying jointly with a public entity, reflecting the programs emphasis on public accountability and community-wide planning. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are explicitly not eligible to apply for or receive awards under this announcement.

From the funding details provided, this opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number FR 6000 N 34 and CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) 14.889, within the housing activity category. HUD anticipated making about four awards, with an award ceiling of $30,000,000 per award, indicating that the program is intended to support major, transformative projects rather than small or pilot efforts. The opportunity was created on March 31, 2016, and had an original closing date of June 28, 2016, which situates this specific notice in that funding cycle even though the program itself may recur in other years under different notices.
