This data collection is for
applications received under the Community Challenge Planning Grants
Notice of Funding Availability.
The Department of
Defense and Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011 (Public
Law 112-10, approved April 15, 2011) (Appropriations Act), provided
$30,000,000 for HUDs Community Challenge Planning Grant Program.
HUDs $30 million Community Challenge Planning Grant Program will
foster reform and reduce barriers to achieving affordable,
economically vital, and sustainable communities. Such efforts may
include amending or replacing local master plans, zoning codes, and
building codes, either on a jurisdiction wide basis or in a
specific neighborhood, district, corridor, or sector to promote
mixed-use development, affordable housing, the reuse of older
buildings and structures for new purposes, and similar activities
with the goal of promoting sustainability at the local or
neighborhood level. HUDs Community Challenge Planning Grant
Program also supports the development of affordable housing through
the development and adoption of inclusionary zoning ordinances and
other activities such as acquisition of land for affordable housing
projects. In fiscal year 2010 a joint Notice of Funding
Availability was issued for HUDs Community Challenge Planning
Grant program and DOTs TIGER II Planning Grant program, as a
result both agencies successfully awarded 14 joint grants. This
fiscal year DOT did not receive transportation planning funds as
part of the National Infrastructure Investments program therefore a
joint NOFA will not be issued.
