Community Base Reuse Plans

The Department of the Army Headquarters Office of the Secretary administers Community Base Reuse Plans (CFDA 12.612), which funds community adjustment assistance and reuse planning in response to military base closures, with the most recent grant award disbursed on October 1, 2007—nearly 19 years ago.

This program is inactive. No grant awards have been issued since 2007. The portfolio consists of 13 Project Grants totaling $4.8 million in combined federal dollars obligated, all concentrated in a narrow window: one award in 2003 and six awards each in 2006 and 2007. No recent grant opportunities are posted.

The program funds community needs evaluation, capability assessment, and adjustment assistance tied to Department of Defense base closures—specifically the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) round and non-BRAC closures authorized by Congress. Representative awards include $1.3 million to support closure mitigation following Naval Station Roosevelt Roads (2003), $1.28 million for community adjustment assistance related to the 2005 BRAC recommendations (2007), and $318 thousand for needs evaluation and mitigation assistance following a 2005 base closure (2006). All awards are structured as Project Grants with performance periods typically between one and two years.

Funding was split between the Department of Defense (10 awards, $3 million) and the Department of the Army Headquarters Office of the Secretary (3 awards, $1.8 million). Typical individual award sizes ranged from $31 thousand to $1.3 million.

This program is no longer actively soliciting applications. The funding was time-bound to support communities adjusting to BRAC 2005 closures, and that reuse-planning window has long closed. Organizations involved in ongoing military installation reuse should monitor other DoD community adjustment programs rather than pursue this Assistance Listing.
