FY22 Choice Neighborhoods Planning Grants NOFO

Choice Neighborhoods Planning Grants support the development of comprehensive plans to revitalize severely distressed public housing and/or HUD-assisted housing and the surrouding neighborhood. Communities will develop a comprehensive neighborhood revitalization strategy, or Transformation Plan, to achieve the program's three core goals: Housing, People and Neighborhood. The Transformation Plan will become the guiding document to carryout subsequent implementation of the plan for the target housing units while simultaneously directing the transformation of the surrounding neighborhood and positive outcomes for families.    

Eligible applicants under this NOFO are Public Housing Agencies (PHAs), local governments, tribal entities, and nonprofits.  Refer to the Program Definitions in Section I.A for how these terms are defined in the Choice Neighborhoods program.   Key Eligibility Criteria.  There are three key eligibility criteria for Choice Neighborhoods funding.  In addition to the requirement that an applicant must be an eligible entity, the application must also demonstrate the proposal targets an eligible housing project located in an eligible neighborhood.
