Full Text of Announcement
I. Funding Opportunity Description
A. Program Description. The purpose
of this Demonstration Pre-Development
Grant program is to assist Sponsors of
projects that receive Fund Reservation
Awards pursuant to the FY2007
SuperNOFA for the Section 202
Supportive Housing for the Elderly
program, by providing pre-development
grant funding for architectural and
engineering work, site control, and other
planning-related expenses that are
eligible for funding under the Section
202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly
program. Subsequent to providing predevelopment grant funding to the
selected applicants, HUD will assess the
impact of the availability of such
funding on the ability of project
Sponsors to expedite the development
processing of projects from Section 202
Fund Reservation to Initial Closing
within 18 months.
HUD is aware of the complexities of
developing Section 202 projects and
understands that a lack of predevelopment funding may be a
contributing factor in many instances
where project Sponsors are not able to
move their approved projects from Fund
Reservation award to Initial Closing
within the required 18-month time

frame. Funding under this program is
not intended to duplicate Section 202
Capital Advance funding, but rather to
provide a source of funding for predevelopment costs that would otherwise
not be reimbursable until Initial Closing
or would be payable from eligible
funding resources secured outside of
Section 202 Capital Advance funding.
B. Authority. The Section 202
Demonstration Pre-Development
program is authorized by the Revised
Continuing Appropriations Resolution,
2007 (Pub. L. 110–5; approved February
15, 2007).
II. Award Information
A. Funding Available. The Revised
Continuing Appropriations Resolution,
2007 (Pub. L. 110–5; approved February
15, 2007) authorized approximately
$19,800,000 for pre-development grants
to private nonprofit organizations and
consumer cooperatives in connection
with the development of housing under
the Section 202 Supportive Housing for
the Elderly program.
B. Funding Process. HUD will only
make offers to fully fund as many
applications as possible from the
$19,800,000 allocated for Sponsors that
receive Section 202 Fund Reservations
pursuant to the FY2007 SuperNOFA.
Applicants selected for funding under
the FY2007 Section 202 Supportive
Housing for the Elderly NOFA are not
guaranteed funding under this
demonstration program.
C. Maximum Grant Award. The
maximum grant amount per single
application is $400,000. However, no
more than $800,000 may be awarded to
a single entity or its affiliated
organizations. The amount of funding
requested must be within the maximum
grant award amounts; otherwise, the
application will not receive funding
consideration.
D. Reduction of Requested Grant
Amount. HUD may make an award in an
amount less than requested, if:
1. HUD determines that any of the
proposed pre-development activities are
ineligible for funding under the Section
202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly
program;
2. HUD determines that an eligible
applicant has not been able to provide
sufficient evidence to support the
proposed cost of an eligible predevelopment item or activity;
3. HUD determines that a reduced
grant would prevent duplicative federal
funding; or
4. HUD determines that proposed
costs for pre-development activities are
not based on comparable costs for
eligible items and activities in the
applicant’s community. HUD field office
