Safe Neighborhood Grants

The Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistant Secretary for Housing Federal Housing Commissioner administers Safe Neighborhood Grants (CFDA 14.192), which funds housing-based anti-drug initiatives, with the most recent grant award issued on August 23, 2012—over fourteen years ago.

This program is dormant. No grant opportunities have been posted recently, and no awards have been disbursed since 2012. The portfolio shows sporadic activity: eight awards in 2003, six in 2004, one in 2005, four in 2010, and one in 2012, with a fourteen-year gap to present. The combined federal dollars obligated across all twenty awards is $2 thousand, reflecting negative obligations (deobligations or adjustments) that outweigh positive commitments. Individual awards range from zero dollars obligated to positive awards in the low-to-mid five-figure range; recent awards (2010–2012) include negative obligations of $8 thousand to $64 thousand, indicating program wind-down or correction activity rather than new funding.

All awards in the portfolio are Project Grants. The Department of Housing and Urban Development is the sole funding agency across all twenty awards. Representative recent awards include Project Grant NJ39HAD0090199 ($53,003 deobligation, August 2012), Project Grant CA39HAD0010101 ($25,000 deobligation, September 2010), and Project Grant MA06HAD0010198 ($8,030 deobligation, August 2010). The award descriptions identify the program as "HSG ANTI-DRUG GRANTS," indicating focus on anti-drug activity within housing contexts.

Do not pursue this program. The absence of awards since 2012, the pattern of large deobligations in the most recent activity, and the lack of any posted opportunities indicate the program is inactive or has been closed to new applicants.
