Preservation of Affordable Housing

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Office of the Assistant Secretary for Housing Federal Housing Commissioner funds preservation of affordable housing through CFDA 14.187, with the most recent grant award issued on June 1, 2017.

This program has not been active for nearly a decade. The award portfolio spans 53 Project Grants issued between October 2000 and June 2017, with activity concentrated in the early 2000s and early 2010s. The most recent funding cycle occurred in 2017 with eight awards; prior to that, annual award volume ranged from two to seven grants across the 2010–2012 period. No grant opportunities have been posted recently, and no new awards have been obligated since June 2017.

The program funds preservation-related technical assistance and capital grants for affordable rental housing. Representative 2017 awards include Project Grant IT95030SCAR for $1.45 million, Project Grant IT951300ORR for $242 thousand, and Project Grant 12255094941 for $19 thousand. Earlier cycles funded preservation of residential homes, intermediary technical assistance, and Section 8 rental growth preservation increment technical assistance. Awards from the early 2000s and 2010–2012 period typically ranged from under $1 thousand to approximately $130 thousand in federal dollars obligated, though dollar figures and program descriptions in some records show anomalies such as negative obligation amounts and $0 or $1 obligations that suggest potential data quality issues in the historical record.

All 53 awards under this program were issued by HUD's Assistant Secretary for Housing Federal Housing Commissioner. Combined federal dollars obligated across the entire portfolio carry a negative valuation in the source data, indicating potential historical adjustments, reversals, or data artifacts rather than current funding capacity.

Do not pursue this program. The nine-year gap since the last award, absence of recent solicitations, and inactive funding history indicate this Assistance Listing is dormant.
