About this program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development administers the Rural Innovation Fund (CFDA 14.263) to address concentrated rural housing distress and community poverty, with the most recent grant award dated August 24, 2017—over nine years ago.

The program has not posted recent grant opportunities. Award activity is dormant: twenty total Project Grants have been disbursed since 2011, with the last cohort of thirteen awards issued in 2017. Prior activity concentrated in 2011 (six awards) and 2012 (one award), then ceased until the terminal 2017 cycle. Combined federal dollars obligated total $3.9 million across all twenty awards, with individual award magnitudes ranging from under $1 thousand to approximately $2 million. The sole funding source is HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.

Recent awards from the 2017 cycle included Project Grant RU11WAI0045 at $799.75 thousand (August 24, 2017), Project Grant RI10WIS0034 at $298.5 thousand (August 24, 2017), and Project Grant RI10MTS0018 at $196.88 thousand (August 24, 2017). Earlier awards such as Project Grant RI10ARC0002 ($1.998 million, September 28, 2011) and Project Grant RU11AZC0048 ($1.557 million, January 18, 2012) represent the program's upper-end funding envelope. The 2017 awards also included several sub-$50 thousand grants, indicating heterogeneous project scope.

The program's inactivity since August 2017 and absence of posted solicitations signal that no new funding opportunities are currently available under this Assistance Listing. Prospective applicants should verify current program status directly with HUD's Community Planning and Development office before investing development effort.
