HUD has recently published its FY 2020 Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). The NOFA is available at grants.gov. The 2020 Appropriations Act provided $80 million for the FSS program. Applications are due August 20, 2020. Applicants must have an up-to-date DUNS number, SAM.gov registration and grants.gov registration.

Only PHAs that were funded for FSS in at least one of the last years are eligible to apply for this NOFA. HUD will not have a NOFA for new applicants in FY 2020.

HUD will also be hosting a webinar on the FSS NOFA Monday July 27 from 1:30pm – 3pm Eastern. You can register here.

HUD will be hosting an online presentation on Monday, July 27 at 2pm ET on the use of Choice Neighborhoods Planning and Implementation Grants across the country. Hosted by Mindy Turbov, Director of HUD’s Choice Neighborhoods Program, the presentation will focus on the successes and impacts of the program. Choice Neighborhoods Planning Grants support the development of comprehensive community-driven neighborhood plans, which direct resources to address three core areas: Housing, People and Neighborhood. In each community, the plan becomes the guiding document for the revitalization of the severely distressed public and/or HUD-assisted housing units, critical improvements in the surrounding neighborhood, and positive outcomes for families.

As a reminder, applications for the FY20 Choice Neighborhoods Planning Grants are due September 14, 2020.
