Urban Development Action Grants

The Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development administered the Urban Development Action Grants program (CFDA 14.221), with the most recent grant award dated July 1, 2006—twenty years ago. This program is inactive and not currently accepting applications. No grant opportunities have been posted in the recent period covered by available records.

The portfolio shows 19 Project Grants totaling $19.6 million in federal dollars obligated between 2000 and 2006. Award activity declined sharply after 2003: the program issued 7 awards in 2002, 5 in 2003, then dropped to 1 award per year in 2004, 2005, and 2006 before ceasing. The program distinguished between large-city and small-city tracks in its awards. Recent examples include a $10 million UDAG-Large Cities award (October 2002), a $4.25 million UDAG-Large Cities award (July 2002), and a $500 thousand UDAG-Large Cities award (January 2005). Smaller awards ranged from approximately $14 thousand to $376 thousand.

All 19 awards were Project Grants; no other assistance type appeared in the portfolio. HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development was the sole funder across all awards. The program's completion dates suggest short project execution windows, typically three months from award to ultimate completion.

This program is not a pursuit opportunity. The funding line has been dormant for two decades, with no new opportunities posted and no recent grant awards. Organizations should not allocate resources to applications under CFDA 14.221.
