OpportunityTitle: Capital Fund Education and Training Community Facilities (CFCF) Program
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Only PHAs with public housing units under Annual Contributions Contract (ACC) may apply.  A PHA may not apply to construct, acquire, or rehabilitate a facility in a development that is currently receiving a HOPE VI Revitalization grant or that was constructed, acquired, or rehabilitated using a HOPE VI Revitalization grant.  Tribes and tribally designated housing entities (TDHEs), nonprofit organizations, and resident associations are not eligible to apply.  A PHA is eligible if it is designated troubled by HUD and is not already under the direction of HUD or a court-appointed receiver, if in accordance with 24 CFR part 905, it uses an Alternative Management Entity, as defined in 24 CFR 902.7, and complies with any applicable provisions of its Memorandum of Agreement executed with HUD
Description: The purpose of the CFCF program is to provide capital funding to Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) for the construction, rehabilitation, or purchase of facilities to provide early childhood education, adult education, and/or job training programs for public housing residents based on an identified need. Additionally, PHAs may use CFCF program funding to rehabilitate existing community facilities that will offer comprehensive, integrated services. These facilities will offer comprehensive, integrated services to help public housing residents achieve better educational and economic outcomes resulting in long-term economic self-sufficiency. In accordance with Section 9 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437g) (1937 Act), and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Fiscal Year 2010 Appropriations Act (Public Law 111-117), the CFCF program provides grants to PHAs to 1) construct new community facilities; 2) purchase or acquire facilities; or 3) rehabilitate existing facilities to be used as education and training community facilities by PHA residents. The facilities are for the predominant use of PHA residents; however, non-public housing residents may participate.
