Funds Available

If someone contacts you claiming to be a HUD employee and tells you that HUD has awarded you a grant but tells you that you must pay to activate or qualify for the award - you are likely being targeted by criminals. HUD will never require grant applicants or awardees to pay money for information, to apply for, or to access grant funds. Period. This fraudulent behavior would be a felony punishable by heavy fines and jail time - regardless of whether or not money is exchanged.

If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from HUD, here's what you should do:

If you have questions regarding the status of your grant request, call the Grants Management & Oversight Division at (202) 708-0667. The HUD employees at that line can help you with any grant questions regarding award status.
If any payment of money has been solicited for information, then contact and report the incident to the HUD Inspector General immediately. If the complaint involves someone impersonating someone at HUD, include the words "HUD Telephone Scam" in the notes.

HUD NOFA FORECAST
The Department of Housing and Urban Development NOFA Forecast lists competitive grant opportunities that may be available for FY2016. The inclusion or exclusion of an opportunity in this list does not constitute a guarantee that a specific opportunity will become available or not be available. Forecast opportunities are subject to change based on enactment of Congressional appropriations and other considerations.

When funding is available, HUD will issue a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA), which will be available on Grants.gov and HUD's Funds Available webpage. Each NOFA provides guidance on how to apply for funding.
