Homeownership and Opportunity for People Everywhere

The Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistant Secretary for Housing Federal Housing Commissioner administers the Homeownership and Opportunity for People Everywhere program (CFDA 14.185), which has not awarded new grants since July 2013. This program is effectively inactive for new funding purposes.

The portfolio shows nine Project Grants totaling $2.7 million in federal dollars obligated across a 13-year span ending in 2013. Recent grant activity was sparse: one award in 2013, two awards each in 2012, 2005, 2001, and 2000, with no awards in the intervening years. The most recent recorded awards carry negative dollar obligations, indicating adjustments or deobligations rather than new funding commitments. Representative historical awards funded HOPE 2 housing implementation and planning activities—Project Grant H293NY005IM awarded $957,530 to support housing implementation in New York in 2005, and Project Grant H293LA004IN awarded $976,345 for similar implementation work in Louisiana in 2001.

All nine awards in the portfolio came from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Housing Federal Housing Commissioner, concentrating 100 percent of both award count and federal dollars under a single funding agency. All awards were structured as Project Grants.

No currently open grant opportunities are documented in the source. No recent opportunities have been posted; the program's last solicitation activity visible in the portfolio dates to 2013. Given the 13-year gap since the most recent award and the absence of posted opportunities, this program does not present a current pursuit opportunity. Organizations should verify current program status directly with HUD before investing business development effort.
