National Technical Assistance awards are part of a separate
competition under the Community Development Technical Assistance

project sponsors, and potential applicants of HOPWA funding. Nonprofit
organizations, States, and units of general local government that
do not qualify for HOPWA Formula Program grants may apply for HOPWA
Technical Assistance Funding grants through HUD's SuperNOFA process.

as a part of the CDTA NOFA. Applicants are encouraged to review
the project executive summaries of current HOPWA TA providers, as
these summaries provide an excellent overview of the national HOPWA
TA efforts funded through the HOPWA program.
