Preview of the PRO Housing Notice of Funding Opportunity

HUD recently issued a preview of an upcoming Notice of Funding Opportunity — Pathways to Removing Obstacles to Housing (PRO Housing). Through competitive grants, HUD will provide $85 million in funding for communities across the country to identify and remove barriers to affordable housing production and preservation. PRO Housing supports communities that are actively taking steps to remove barriers to affordable housing, such as barriers caused by outdated zoning, land use policies, or regulations; inefficient procedures; gaps in available resources for development; deteriorating or inadequate infrastructure; lack of neighborhood amenities; or challenges to preserving existing housing stock such as increasing threats from natural hazards, redevelopment pressures, or expiration of affordability requirements. This first-of-its-kind funding highlights the efforts of communities who have committed to housing-forward policies and practices.

To learn more about the specifics of the PRO Housing NOFO and application requirements, HUD will host a series of webinars, with the first webinar on Thursday, August 3, 2023. For more information, visit the PRO Housing website.
