HUD has published the FY2009 HOPE VI Main Street NOFA. Approximately $4,000,000 will be awarded through the NOFA. The application deadline date is March 3, 2010. The original deadline date of January 20, 2010 was extended by NOFA Modification #1, published on January 19, 2010 at the Grants.gov website.

As in the past, only Units of General Local Government are eligible to submit an application. The funds in the NOFA must be used to assist Units of Local Government that have existing Main Street area revitalization projects and have the population and public housing unit limits stated above. These funds are to be used to develop initially affordable housing in the Main Street redevelopment area.

Note that the NOFA will include, by reference, the General Section of HUD's FY 2009 SuperNOFA. The General Section can be obtained at HUD's Grant Funds Available website. There are some very important requirements in the General Section that, if not addressed in the application, may cause the application to be rejected without being rated or ranked. The applicants must read the General Section clauses along with the Main Street NOFA. If this Main Street NOFA and the General Section contain conflicting information, this Main Street NOFA prevails.

Applications will have to be submitted electronically to Grants.gov, and applicants must register or renew their registration before the application deadline. Registration may take up to three weeks. Detailed registration instructions are included in HUD's General Section, which is included in the documents that an applicant can download from Grants.gov.

Also, a few weeks after publication, there are often changes and corrections to NOFAs. You should check Grants.gov often to see if changes have been published. Throughout the period before the application submission deadline date, this site will also post Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) that clarify specific parts of the NOFA. Please be sure to review the application submission against the latest requirements on Grants.gov. The NOFA, and related forms and guidance, will be available through links at www.grants.gov and through links on this website.
