HUD Updates NOFA Guidance, Read Now.

HUD Federal Register Notice HERE, provides heads up on important changes in HUD Notices of Funding Availability (Competitive Grants), including those prompted by Recovery Act.

With first HUD NOFA's anticipated as early next week , good idea to look at this now.

Sneak peak of just one section of the Notice:

Since 1989, HUD has notified the public regarding the availability of assistance through the publication of the NOFA in the Federal Register.
Section 233 of Division I, Title II of the Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009 (Pub. L. 111-8, approved March 11, 2009) authorizes HUD, at its discretion, to make its NOFAs available on HUD's official government Web site, http://www.hud.gov, or on other
appropriate government Web sites, as determined by HUD.

For FY2009, HUD intends to post the complete NOFA on the HUD Web site.
For assistance made available through the Recovery Act, HUD will post funding notices at http://www.hud.gov/recovery/.
For assistance made available through the Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009, HUD will post NOFAs at http://www.hud.gov/offices/adm/grants/fundsavail.cfm.
HUD will also post a synopsis of all HUD competitive funding opportunities at http://www07.grants.gov/applicants/find_grant_opportunities.jsp, along with a link to the appropriate HUD Web site.
In addition, HUD will publish in the Federal Register a brief notice announcing the availability of NOFAs on the HUD Web site.
By posting its NOFAs on the HUD Web site, HUD assistance should be available more quickly, and at an Internet location more familiar to the majority of the public.
