SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Choice Neighborhoods Program employs a
comprehensive approach to community development centered on housing
transformation. The program aims to transform neighborhoods of poverty
into viable mixed-income neighborhoods with access to economic
opportunities by revitalizing severely distressed public and assisted
housing and investing and leveraging investments in well-functioning
services, effective schools and education programs, public assets,
public transportation, and improved access to jobs. Choice
Neighborhoods Planning Grants support the development of comprehensive
neighborhood revitalization plans which focused on directing resources
to address three core goals: Housing, People and Neighborhoods. To
achieve these core goals, communities must develop and implement a
comprehensive neighborhood revitalization strategy, or Transformation
Plan. The Transformation Plan will become the guiding document for the
revitalization of the public and/or assisted housing units while
simultaneously directing the transformation of the surrounding
neighborhood and positive outcomes for families.
The FY2013 Choice Neighborhoods Planning Grant awards totaled
$4,374,000 and nine applicants were selected for funding in a
competition, the results of which were announced on November 22, 2013.
At that time, and in addition to the applicant and Congressional
notification processes, the grantees were posted to the HUD Web site

based on the selection criteria in the FY2013 Choice Neighborhoods
Planning Grant NOFA.
In accordance with Section 102 (a)(4)(C) of the Department of
Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (103 Stat.1987, 42
