pre-development costs, capital costs for
a regionally significant development or
infrastructure investment, or land
acquisition investments. We are
considering how to make best use of
new federal dollars in the context of
existing programs and their
requirements—and also in the context of
innovative practices in the field.
Applicants would need to demonstrate
that they have in place an adopted
regional vision that is substantially
consistent with the Livability
Principles, metrics identified in the
published NOFA to measure
performance, and have commitments
from affected participating partners to
initiate implementation efforts, but have
funding gaps that could be closed
within the grant limits for this program.
HUD seeks comments on the
following questions:
—Would ‘‘pre-certification’’ be an added
value and, if so, what programs
should this approach apply to? What
criteria should be considered for
meeting the ‘‘pre-certification’’ status?
—Is the direct support of
implementation activities appropriate
within this Program given the limited
amount of resources and the expected
modest size of grants?
—What criteria should be used to judge
that an applicant successfully
demonstrates that it has an adopted
regional vision and that the project for
funding under this category is truly
catalytic?
—Specifically, what criteria should be
considered for a project to be
catalytic?
—What types of activities might be
included, the timeframe by what time
the project should be completed, and
how much leveraging should be
considered appropriate for
demonstrating that the proposed
investment will serve as a region’s
commitment to a sustainable future?
B. Entities Eligible for Funding
In the Program, HUD is considering as
an eligible entity a multi-jurisdictional
and multi-sector partnership consisting
of a consortium of units of general local
government and all government, civic,
philanthropic and business entities with
a responsibility for implementing a
Regional Plan for Sustainable
Development.
HUD seeks input on the following
questions:
—Should certain entities be required
partners in multi-jurisdictional
regions such as a metropolitan
planning organization as defined in
23 CFR 450.104, or a rural planning
organization or network of rural
planning organizations in a rural area?

—What definitions should HUD use to
define a rural multi-jurisdictional
region eligible for funding?
—What units of government should be
allowed to serve as a lead agency for
funding purposes?
—What should demonstrate
commitment on the part of each
member organization, and whether
there should be a minimum number
of member organizations?
C. Selection Criteria
In evaluating an application for a
grant, HUD, in partnership with DOT
and EPA, will evaluate whether the
application furthers the creation of
livable communities by advancing
regional planning that integrates
housing, transportation, and
environmental decisions and the extent
to which the applicant represents a
strong collaboration effort for the region
in question.
HUD seeks input on how to judge the
capacity of the regional entity to carry
out the proposed Program, including the
extent of technical and organizational
capacity to conduct the project in the
proposed timeframe, past experience in
implementing a planning process, and/
or an implementation project as
proposed, and the extent to which the
consortium has developed partnerships
throughout an entire metropolitan or
rural area, including, as appropriate,
partnerships with the entities described
above. Specifically, should a needs
assessment be required as an
application submission requirement,
and, if so, what data elements should be
mandatory in judging need and the
scope of the needs assessment to ensure
that it addresses the comprehensive
needs of the region?
While HUD specifically seeks
comment on the foregoing questions,
HUD welcomes additional information
that will help inform the Sustainable
Communities Planning Grant Program.
