Opportunity Information: Apply for FR 6100 N 33
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) issued this discretionary grant Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for its Fiscal Year 2017 Supplemental Comprehensive Housing Counseling Grant Program to strengthen and expand housing counseling services delivered by HUD-approved agencies. The central goal is to fund practical, front-line counseling and advice for people who rent or own homes, as well as those preparing to become renters or homeowners. The program is designed to help households improve housing stability and long-term outcomes by supporting counseling on property maintenance, budgeting and financial management, financial literacy, and other topics tied to successfully maintaining a tenancy or sustaining homeownership.
This NOFA emphasizes flexibility and responsiveness, meaning funded agencies are expected to tailor services to local conditions and the specific needs of residents and neighborhoods. Counseling supported under this opportunity can span the full housing continuum, including assistance for homebuyers, existing homeowners, renters, and individuals experiencing homelessness. In doing so, HUD frames the program as part of broader housing market stabilization efforts: helping families obtain housing, avoid preventable housing loss, and remain stably housed through responsible homeownership or access to affordable rental options.
A major focus is on reaching and effectively serving populations that have historically faced additional barriers in housing and economic systems. The opportunity explicitly highlights traditionally underserved groups, including minorities, older adults, veterans, people with disabilities, people with limited English proficiency, and residents of rural communities. The intent is not only to deliver counseling in general, but to ensure specialized, accessible, and culturally competent guidance that addresses the extra challenges these groups often encounter, such as limited access to credit, discrimination, language barriers, reduced availability of local services, or heightened risk of fraud.
HUD also underscores the role of housing counselors as a protective resource for the public. Funded counseling is positioned as expert and unbiased guidance that can help households navigate complex transactions and decisions, avoid scams, recognize and respond to discriminatory practices, and connect to other forms of help. In that sense, housing counseling is described as a gateway to local, state, federal, and private housing assistance programs, helping clients move from information and planning to concrete supports that improve stability and financial wellbeing.
From an administrative standpoint, this funding opportunity is listed as FR 6100 N 33, with the funding instrument being a grant and the activity area being housing. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number is 14.169, which corresponds to HUD housing counseling assistance. The opportunity was created on January 31, 2017, with an original application deadline of March 17, 2017, and electronic applications required submission by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. HUD anticipated making around 40 awards. The listing shows an award ceiling of 0, which typically signals that the maximum award amount was not specified in that particular summary field (applicants would generally need to consult the full NOFA text for detailed award sizing, budget constraints, match requirements if any, and allocation methodology).
Eligibility is described broadly in the summary as "Others" with clarification referenced in an "Additional Information on Eligibility" section, but the narrative makes clear the funding is intended to support HUD-approved housing counseling agencies. In practical terms, the core audience for this NOFA is organizations already recognized by HUD to deliver housing counseling, positioned to provide direct client services and to scale assistance to meet local demand while maintaining program standards and consumer protections.Apply for FR 6100 N 33
