About this program

The Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service administers CFDA 10.494, the Multi-Family Housing Non-Profit Transfer Technical Assistance Grants program, which funds technical assistance providers—qualified nonprofits and public housing authorities—to help Rural Housing Service borrowers and applicants acquire and preserve Section 515 rural rental housing properties, with the most recent open solicitation due November 18, 2024.

The program operates on an annual funding cycle. A consolidated solicitation (USDA-RD-HCFP-NPTA-FLHTA-2024) posted September 18, 2024, budgeted $4.9 million for the 10.494 nonprofit transfer technical assistance component, with individual award ceilings of $750,000 and floors of $100,000. A prior solicitation posted May 10, 2023, budgeted $6.9 million for the same line item, suggesting funding levels have contracted modestly. The program solicits technical assistance providers to support the transfer and preservation of existing RHS multifamily properties through structured grants; successful applicants deliver technical assistance services to qualified RHS borrowers and applicants pursuing nonprofit or public housing authority acquisition pathways.

Eligible applicants are technical assistance providers classified as nonprofit organizations or public housing authorities. Grant awards are Project Grants with record-keeping requirements aligned to 2 CFR 200.334. Award amounts typically range from $100,000 to $750,000 per recipient based on the most recent solicitation parameters.

The source does not provide a grant award portfolio block with recent disbursement history, award counts, federal dollars obligated, or representative recent awards. The program has been active since at least 2022, posting solicitations annually or biennially. No recent grant awards are documented in the source material provided.

The 2024 solicitation deadline of November 18, 2024, has passed as of the current date (October 17, 2026); no currently open opportunities are identified in the source.
