Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA RD HCFP HPG 2018
The Rural Housing Preservation Grant (HPG) is a discretionary grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Agriculture through the Rural Housing Service. Its purpose is to funnel grant funds to eligible organizations so they can help preserve and improve housing conditions in rural communities. The core focus is on repairing and rehabilitating homes for very low-income and low-income homeowners who need critical upgrades to keep their homes safe, functional, and livable. Alongside homeowner assistance, the program also supports repairs to rural rental housing and cooperative housing complexes, as long as the owners agree to make the improved units available to low- and very low-income residents. In practical terms, the grant is designed to stabilize rural housing stock, reduce health and safety hazards, and prevent housing deterioration that can push vulnerable households into displacement or homelessness.
Eligible applicants are organizations and public entities that can administer housing repair assistance, including state, county, and city or township governments; federally recognized tribal governments; other tribal organizations; and nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status, as long as they are not institutions of higher education). The notice also indicates there may be additional eligible entity types depending on the agency’s eligibility clarifications. Rather than funding individual homeowners directly, the program typically works by funding these intermediary applicants, which then carry out repair and rehabilitation activities for qualifying rural households and eligible rental/co-op properties under the program rules.
This particular opportunity is identified as USDA RD HCFP HPG 2018 and falls under the Community Development and Housing activity area (CFDA 10.433). The funding instrument is a grant, with an award ceiling of $50,000 per award and an expected total of about 160 awards, reflecting an approach that spreads moderate-sized grants across many rural service areas. The announcement date for this cycle was June 25, 2018, and the original closing date for receipt of preapplications was August 9, 2018. The notice emphasizes that RHS is publishing these opening and closing dates to comply with federal regulations at 7 CFR part 1944, subpart N, which require the agency to formally announce the application window for HPG preapplications. In short, the program is a structured funding opportunity intended to help qualified local, tribal, nonprofit, and public partners carry out rural home repair and rehabilitation work targeted to households with the greatest financial need, while also preserving affordable rural rental and cooperative housing for low-income residents.Apply for USDA RD HCFP HPG 2018
