About Federal Grants for Housing

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is the federal government's arm which makes available almost $1 billion in grants. HUD is the Federal agency which works to help the nation's communities meet their development needs, spur economic growth in distressed neighborhoods, provide housing assistance for the poor, help rehabilitate and develop moderate and low-cost housing, and enforce the nation's fair housing laws.

HUD awards grants to organizations and groups for a variety of purposes. To participate in the HUD grants program, you need to be registered with Grants.gov.

HUD's grants office

The Office of Departmental Grants Management and Oversight (ODGMO), is responsible for strengthening internal controls and enhancing management integrity across HUD's programs; improving management efficiencies by streamlining grants processes and procedures not only within HUD but across all Federal programs in conjunction with the other 26 Federal grant-making agencies; facilitating the move to e-Government; and increasing transparency for results achieved in HUD's competitive grant programs.

The ODGMO is responsible for developing the General Section to HUD's annual Notices of Funding Availability (NOFA); ensuring consistency of HUD's NOFAs with HUD's strategic goals and policies, developing performance eLogic models for each competitive program; and working with the 26 other federal grant making agencies to simplify and streamline grants management practices across the Federal government consistent with the intent of Public Law 106-107, the Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act of 1999 and the more recent Federal Financial Assistance Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006.

ODGMO works closely with program offices in reviewing and analyzing results achieved in HUD's programs with the goal of increasing the effectiveness of HUD's program delivery and accountability without placing undue burden on the grantee community.
