Open Road Alliance

(Application Deadline: Rolling)

The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the impact sector has reached natural disaster proportions in its scope and scale, which means that the global need for our ‘emergency’ capital vastly outstrips our available resources. Given this reality, we have decided to use our limited resources to best serve the sector under the following circumstances: 1) Charitable Grants: As of June 2020, we updated our grantmaking process to reflect our original criteria with our broader focus on keeping impact on track, beyond just flattening the curve. 2) Loans: Open Road will be offering four loan products to organizations affected by COVID-19: i) Lost Event Revenue ii) Accelerating Incoming Emergency Funds iii) Co-investment to Support Social Enterprises iv) Deep Impact Loans. As always, all of our grant and loan products will be subject to Open Road’s traditional criteria: We only make a loan or grant to an organization that is (1) otherwise fully funded, then (2) hit an unexpected, external roadblock (i.e., COVID-19), where (3) Open Road’s loan can fully solve the problem at hand and (4) demonstrate the potential to create catalytic impact. In this time of exceptional need, we will be prioritizing impact. LEARN MORE

Social and Economic Impacts of the CDBG and HOME Programs

(Application Deadline: August 17, 2020)

The Research and Evaluation, Demonstrations, and Data Analysis and Utilization program (referred to as "HUDRD") is managed by HUD’s Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R). Through this NOFA, HUD is announcing the availability of up to $500,000 in FY 2020 funding for research on the various eligible activities supported by the Community Development Block Grant program.

HUD seeks objective, quantifiable outcome measures that can be attributed to activities supported by these programs, in order to inform policymakers at the federal, state, and local levels. LEARN MORE

Veterans Housing Rehabilitation and Modification Pilot Program (VHRMP)

The purpose of the Veterans Housing Rehabilitation and Modification Pilot Program (VHRMP) is to explore the potential benefits of awarding grants to nonprofit organizations to rehabilitate and modify the primary residence of veterans who are low-income and have disabilities.

The VHRMP provides competitive grants of up to $1 million each to nonprofit organizations that provide nationwide or statewide programs that primarily serve veterans and/or low-income individuals.

Family Self-Sufficiency - Renewal NOFO

(Application Deadline: August 20, 2020)

The Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program supports the Department’s strategic goal of increasing economic opportunity for HUD-assisted families. FSS provides grants to Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) to support the salaries and training needs of FSS Program Coordinators who assist participating families receiving housing assistance through the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV/PBV) and Public Housing (PH) programs. FSS Program Coordinators develop local strategies to connect participating families to public and private resources to increase their earned income and financial empowerment, reduce or eliminate the need for welfare assistance, and make progress toward economic independence and self-sufficiency. In the context of the Self Sufficiency account, “self-sufficiency” is defined as a household’s ability to maintain financial, housing, and personal/family stability. To achieve self-sufficiency, individuals in a household move along a continuum towards economic independence and stability; such movement is facilitated by the achievement of educational, professional, and health/mental health and financial empowerment-related goals. For the FSS program, self-sufficiency is further defined as a work-able-family’s ability to maintain itself free from income-based public safety net programs such as TANF, SNAP, Medicaid and housing assistance. LEARN MORE

RWJF Evidence for Action: Approaches to Advance Gender Equity From Around the Globe

(Application Deadline: August 26, 2020)

The goal of this funding opportunity is to translate and adapt knowledge from around the world to the United States on approaches that can improve health or the determinants of health by improving gender equity. In the United States, determinants of health relate to personal safety, economic opportunity, education access (post-secondary or beyond), supportive workplace and social environments, and protection from bias and discrimination for vulnerable groups. We are especially interested in understanding how to change systems, norms, and practices—such as patriarchy and heterosexism—that systematically disfavor women, girls, and other groups based on gender or sexual identity. Specifically, we seek to learn from initiatives underway outside the United States whose effectiveness is supported or suggested by empirical evidence and that have the potential to be adapted and implemented in the United States. Some examples of approaches of interest are those that aim to: Achieve pay equity; Provide supports in the workplace or other social environments for pregnant women, parents and families; Counteract cultural stereotypes or expectations that bias women and girls toward low-wage careers or health-damaging jobs or roles; Address norms, practices, and resources in ways that reduce gender-based violence, aggression, or harassment; Modify social expectations that promote risky behaviors or contribute to poor mental health; Build on frameworks about gender, power, and health from groups around the world who have unique traditions and practices related to gender norms and roles; Create opportunities for gender minorities to make decisions that affect their lives and communities, and to emerge as leaders in government and other positions of influence; or Apply nonbinary interpretations of gender in policymaking, resource allocation, or service provision. LEARN MORE

Choice Neighborhoods and Planning Program NOFO

(Application Deadline: September 14, 2020)

The Choice Neighborhoods program leverages significant public and private dollars to support locally driven strategies that address struggling neighborhoods with distressed public and/or HUD-assisted housing through a comprehensive approach to neighborhood transformation.

To this end, Choice Neighborhoods is focused on three core goals: (1) Housing: Replace distressed public and assisted housing with high-quality mixed-income housing that is well-managed and responsive to the needs of the surrounding neighborhood; (2) People: Improve outcomes of households living in the target housing related to employment and income, health, and children’s education; and (3) Neighborhood: Create the conditions necessary for public and private reinvestment in distressed neighborhoods to offer the kinds of amenities and assets, including safety, good schools, and commercial activity, that are important to families’ choices about their community. LEARN MORE
