OpportunityTitle: Section  202 Demonstration Pre-Development Grant Program
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: All private nonprofit organizations and nonprofit consumer cooperatives that submitted an application for funding consideration under the FY 2010 Section 202 Program NOFA are eligible to apply for funding under this Demonstration Pre-Development Grant program.  (Please refer to the FY 2010 Section 202 Program NOFA for a discussion on the eligibility criteria for the Section 202 program.)  However, funding awards under this Section 202 Demonstration Pre-Development Grant program will be restricted to those applicants that were selected for Fund Reservation Awards under the FY 2010 program NOFA for the Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly program.
Description: The purpose of this Demonstration Pre-Development Grant program is to assist Sponsors of projects that receive Fund Reservation Awards pursuant to the FY 2010 NOFA for the Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly program, as amended to include FY 2011 appropriations, by providing pre-development grant funding for architectural and engineering work, site control, and other planning related expenses that are eligible for funding under the Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly program. Subsequent to providing pre-development grant funding to the selected applicants, HUD will assess the impact of the availability of such funding on the ability of project Sponsors to expedite the development processing of projects from Section 202 Fund Reservation to Initial Closing within 18 months. HUD is aware of the complexities of developing Section 202 projects and understands that a lack of pre-development funding may be a contributing factor in many instances where project Sponsors are not able to move their approved projects from Fund Reservation award to Initial Closing within the required 18-month time frame. Funding under this program is not intended to duplicate Section 202 Capital Advance funding, but rather to provide a source of funding for pre-development costs that would otherwise not be reimbursable until Initial Closing or would be payable from eligible funding resources secured outside of Section 202 Capital Advance funding.
