-
Federal Grants: The Neighborhoods Division manages HUD funds like Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships, and Emergency Solutions Grants. Proposals are reviewed annually, with public input solicited before finalizing decisions in November3.
-
Specific Initiatives: Programs like the New Neighborhood Homes Initiative use Requests for Proposals (RFPs) to allocate funds for housing projects that address market challenges or sustainability goals4.
-
Loan Programs: Funds like the Vacant Building Credit Enhancement Fund and a revolving loan fund supported by the American Rescue Plan Act provide financial incentives for redevelopment projects67.
These processes ensure funding aligns with strategic goals while addressing community needs.
