202/811 SuperNOFA competitions reopened

HUD is reopening three more SuperNOFA grant competitions: the Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly program; the closely related Section 811 Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities program, and the Service Coordinators in Multifamily Housing program. In all three cases the new application deadline is September 6. These are the most recent of several reopenings of SuperNOFA competitions, apparently because of trouble with the new electronic application process.

Also in the Federal Register today:

- The Rural Community Development Initiative is soliciting applications for "approximately $6 million of grant funds" for financial and technical assistance through "intermediary organizations. Applications are due November 3.

- There's a proposed rule out on HUD foreclosure sales of multifamily projects, expressing new legal requirements under the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2004. Indirect purchasers of HUD multifamily buildings would have to follow the same rule as direct purchasers and "certify that all other properties owned by the purchaser, and located in the same city or town as the project being purchased, are in substantial compliance with applicable state or local government housing statutes, regulations, ordinances, and codes."
