HUD Secretary Alphonso Jackson unveiled the Fiscal Year
2005 Notice of Funding Availability (SuperNOFA) on March
23, 2005, making available $2.26 billion in funding
through 53 grant opportunities. The FY 2005 SuperNOFA
significantly reduces the paperwork burden on grant
applicants. Applicants for these various grants include
state and local governments, faith-based grassroots
organizations, minority-serving institutions, and other
community organizations. See
http://www.hud.gov/offices/adm/grants/fundsavail.cfm for
a list of the funds available. Student Research and Study
Program funding is also available as part of the NOFA
process. For more information, go to
https://archives.hud.gov/funding/2005/grpsrsp.cfm

With the exception of applicants to Continuum of Care
homeless assistance programs, HUD now requires applicants
to submit their funding requests electronically through
http://www.grants.gov. Using http://www.grants.gov will
streamline funding for applicants who serve lower-income
families.

HUD is providing training for potential applicants via
satellite and webcast. Webcasts of completed trainings
are available from
http://www.hud.gov/webcasts/archives/supernofa05.cfm. The
webcast schedule is available from
https://archives.hud.gov/funding/2005/snbroadcast.doc
or from the HUD field office nearest you. To see a live
webcast, go to
https://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/webcasts/schedule and select
the webcast you wish to see in the "Live Broadcast Today"
box. Links to the webcast appear 30 minutes before the
webcast begins. Help is available from
http://www.hud.gov/webcasts/help.cfm, or by telephone at
(202) 708-6067.

This year, HUD continues to place a premium on funding
local communities and organizations that are working
toward removing excessive and burdensome regulations that
restrict the development of affordable housing at the
local level. See
http://www.hud.gov/initiatives/affordablecom.cfm for more
information about HUD's Affordable Communities
Initiative. Your application may qualify for up to two
bonus points in recognition of tangible regulatory reform
efforts. To obtain information about the types of
strategies that qualify as reform efforts, see HUD's
Regulatory Barriers Clearinghouse at
http://www.regbarriers.org. To date, HUD has collected
more than 3,000 resources and strategies for affordable-
housing friendly regulations from more than 270 state and
local governments and other housing providers. If you
have one of your own that you'd like to submit for
possible inclusion in the RBC searchable database, you
can send it to the Clearinghouse at
https://www.huduser.gov/portal/rbc/submitastory.html or call 1-800-245-
2691, option 4.
