Opportunity Information: Apply for FR 6400 N 11
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) Competitive Grant: Housing as an Intervention to Fight AIDS is a discretionary grant opportunity from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that treats stable housing as a frontline, evidence-based tool for improving HIV outcomes and helping end the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The program is framed as a direct contribution to major national and community efforts such as Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America, the HIV National Strategic Plan, and local "Getting to Zero" style initiatives. The underlying idea is straightforward: when people living with HIV have safe, stable housing, they are more likely to stay engaged in medical care, adhere to treatment, and achieve viral suppression, which improves individual health and reduces new transmissions. Through this competition, HUD aims to fund local projects that can demonstrate how housing, paired with services and strong coordination, functions as a structural intervention that moves communities closer to ending the epidemic.
This funding is authorized under the HOPWA Special Projects of National Significance authority at Section 854(c)(5) of the AIDS Housing Opportunity Act (42 U.S.C. 12903(c)(5)). In practical terms, that means HUD is looking for projects that go beyond routine service delivery and instead produce models that can be learned from, evaluated, and replicated elsewhere. HUD emphasizes exemplary and innovative project qualities, including strong community-level coordination across housing and healthcare systems, improved data collection and data use, culturally competent service delivery, and a deliberate, systemic approach to advancing equity for underserved communities. The intent is not only to help participants locally, but also to generate a place-based model that could inform policy and program design nationally.
Applicants are expected to build projects around six required objectives. First, grantees must implement and document innovative housing and supportive service models for low-income persons living with HIV and their families, with an emphasis on approaches that could be replicated in other jurisdictions. Second, projects must increase alignment with existing or emerging local HIV elimination strategies by explicitly elevating housing as a core intervention rather than a secondary support. Third, HUD wants improved coordination among local housing providers and HIV service and healthcare partners, including better use of community resources that may already exist but are fragmented or underutilized. Fourth, projects must raise the quality and quantity of data collected and used for decision-making, focusing specifically on the relationship between stable housing and positive health outcomes, while also tracking and addressing racial equity. Fifth, grantees must assess and document practices that improve equitable access and ensure culturally competent housing and services for populations experiencing service gaps, meaning groups that are underserved, harder to reach, or disproportionately impacted. Sixth, projects must prioritize sustainability by designing approaches that are effective and equitable and that can continue after the grant ends, rather than disappearing when the period of performance is over.
Funding under this notice is provided as a one-time, non-renewable grant. Award funds can be used to support housing assistance and supportive services for eligible beneficiaries, as well as the coordination and planning activities needed to make multi-partner efforts function smoothly. Grantees may also use funds for grants management and administration, which is particularly relevant here because HUD signals that reporting expectations are more intensive than what many HOPWA recipients experience under traditional program reporting. The ceiling for an individual award is up to $2,250,000, and HUD anticipated making approximately 18 awards under this competition.
A defining feature of this opportunity is its evaluation and dissemination focus. Grantees are required to collect client-level data and, at the end of each operating year, produce a programmatic HIV Housing Care Continuum Model. This requirement pushes projects to move beyond anecdotal success and instead show, with concrete data, how housing stability connects to care engagement and health outcomes over time, and how those outcomes differ across populations in ways that may reflect inequities. At the end of the overall grant period, each grantee must also develop a Housing as an Intervention to Fight AIDS (HIFA) Model that captures promising practices and lessons learned about using housing as a structural intervention. HUD intends to share these HIFA Models publicly so that communities across the country can adopt, adapt, and improve upon what was learned, strengthening national and local strategies to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
Administratively, this opportunity was listed under Funding Opportunity Number FR 6400 N 11 and CFDA 14.241. It was posted with a creation date of April 14, 2021, and an original application deadline of July 6, 2021 (11:59:59 PM Eastern). Eligibility is described broadly as "Others" with additional clarification expected in the full eligibility text, signaling that potential applicants may include a range of organizations depending on HUDs specific criteria in the full notice. Overall, the grant is designed for communities ready to combine housing assistance, supportive services, cross-system coordination, and rigorous data practices into a cohesive, equity-centered approach that can demonstrate measurable impact and leave behind a usable model for others.Apply for FR 6400 N 11
