Border Community Capital Initiative

The Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development funds the Border Community Capital Initiative (CFDA 14.266) to increase access to capital for affordable housing, business lending, and community facilities in the U.S./Mexico border region, with the most recent grant award made on September 21, 2015.

This program is dormant. No grant awards have been disbursed since September 2015—over eleven years ago. The portfolio shows only six Project Grants totaling $1.8 million in combined federal dollars obligated across six years of activity (2014–2015), with five awards in 2014 and one in 2015. All awards were distributed as Project Grants, and HUD Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounted for 100 percent of award count and federal dollars. The source contains no record of recent grant opportunities.

Recent awards demonstrate the program's operational focus: Project Grant BC13TXC0001 obligated $796,854.22 (June 12, 2014, ultimate completion June 11, 2018); Project Grant BC13TXC0002 obligated $597,742.56 (June 12, 2014, ultimate completion January 31, 2018); and Project Grant BC13ARS0003 obligated $199,999.00 (June 3, 2014). All awards documented in the portfolio had completion dates between 2018 and 2019, suggesting the funded projects have concluded. One award (AE14MDI0002, September 21, 2015) shows a negative obligation of $226,986.46, indicating a fund recovery or adjustment.

The program's lack of award activity for over a decade and absence of posted grant opportunities indicate this initiative is not currently soliciting applications. Organizations should verify whether HUD has sunset the program or plans to reactivate it before allocating resources to pursue funding under CFDA 14.266.
