DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
[Docket No. FR-5800-N-25]
Notice of HUD's Funding Availability for Fiscal Years 2014 and
2015 Housing Counseling Training Grant Program
AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Housing--Federal Housing
Commissioner, Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
ACTION: Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the Department's
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014-FY 2015 Housing Counseling Training Grant
Program.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces that HUD has posted on http://www.Grants.gov and http://www.HUD.gov its FY 2014 Housing Counseling
Training Grant Program NOFA. The Housing Counseling Training NOFA is
comprised of both the General Section to the Department's FY 2014 NOFAs
for Discretionary Programs (General Section) published February 19,
2014 and this NOFA. In addition to the application requirements set
forth in the NOFA, applicants must also comply with the requirements
established in the General Section, and all Housing Counseling Training
Program
[[Page 22696]]
requirements. With this single FY 2014-FY 2015 NOFA and corresponding
FY 2014 HUD General Section, HUD may conduct a competition for housing
counseling training grant funding for both FY 2014 and FY 2015. HUD
would use the applications received under this FY 2014 and FY 2015
NOFA, and the corresponding scores and funding methodology relevant to
this NOFA, to make awards for FY2014, utilizing FY 2014 appropriations.
HUD would use the same list and methodology to award FY 2015 funds,
subject to the availability of appropriations and any other authority
that may govern the award of FY 2015 funds. Grantees that receive FY
2014 housing counseling training funding will be contacted by HUD to
determine their interest in FY 2015 funding. HUD would then rerun the
FY 2014 funding formula, utilizing FY 2014 application data/scores,
should FY 2015 funding becomes available, for those FY 2014 grantees
that express interest and remain eligible. Doing this will enable HUD
to make awards quickly after FY 2015 appropriations become available,
and significantly reduce the application burden for counseling
agencies. The General Section for FY 2014 will govern both the FY 2014
and FY 2015 comprehensive housing counseling grant funds.

requirements should be directed to [email protected]. Persons

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Today's Federal Register notice announces
that HUD has posted its FY 2014 Housing Counseling Training Grant
Program NOFA on http://www.Grants.gov and http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/administration/grants/fundsavail.
Approximately $2 million is expected to be available for eligible
applicants under this NOFA for FY 2014 through the Transportation,
Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act,
2014. Alternatively, HUD reserves the right to issue a supplemental or
independent NOFA in FY 2015, perhaps limited to new Applicants, or for
a specific housing counseling training related activity, for example to
support HUD's efforts to embed housing counseling in FHA programs. The
application deadline date is May 5, 2014. Applications must be received
by Grants.gov no later than 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the
application deadline date. See Section IV of the General Section,
regarding application procedures, timely filing requirements, and grace
period policy. HUD may issue a technical correction to this NOFA if
necessary. Any such technical correction will provide detailed
instructions for Applicants regarding the resubmission of applications
to address the revised NOFA requirements.
Dated: April 17, 2014.

Director, Grants Management and Oversight Division, Office of Strategic
Planning and Management.
