Currently, the following areas are being considered.
- Funding to support the preparation of Regional Plans for Sustainable Development that address housing, economic development, transportation, and environmental quality in an integrated fashion where such plans do not currently exist;
- Funding to support the preparation of more detailed execution plans and programs to implement existing regional sustainable development plans (that address housing, economic development, transportation, and environmental quality in an integrated fashion); and
- Implementation funding to support regions that have regional sustainable development plans and implementation strategies in place and need support for a catalytic project or program that demonstrates commitment to and implementation of the broader plan.
In its advanced notice and request for comments, HUD proposed the following maximum funding levels.
- Small metropolitan or rural areas. The grant amount awarded under the Program to an eligible entity that represents a small metropolitan or rural area with a population of not more than 499,999 may not exceed $2,000,000.
- Large metropolitan areas. The grant amount awarded under the Program to an eligible entity that represents a large metropolitan area with a population of 500,000 or more may not exceed $5,000,000.
The Sustainable Community Grant NOFA will be published the week of April 12th with applications due to HUD approximately the week of June 5th and award announcements expected around August 2.
