Abstract: HUD administers congressionally mandated grants known as earmarks. These grants fall into two categories: Economic Development Initiative-Special Project (EDI-SP) and Neighborhood Initiative (NI) grants. Grantees would be non-profit organizations, Tribal entities and local governments. HUD does not anticipate any new applications for these grants in the near future, but administers approximately 4,000 open grants, for which semi-annual reports are required.
