• Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)

The extension of the application deadline until July 27, 2023, is only applicable to applicants located in the Territory of Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Eligible Applicants1. Only PHAs that have an existing Annual Contributions Contract (ACC) with HUD for the HCV program are eligible to apply for funding under this announcement.2. Eligible PHAs must have demonstrated a commitment to administer FUP, which shall be verified by an executed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) among the PHA, PCWA, and CoC that meets the requirements of Section III.F.5. of this NOFO.3. HUD will only consider funding one application per PHA. This one-application limit applies regardless of whether the PHA is a State or regional PHA. In instances where a PHA has more than one PHA code number due to its operating under the jurisdiction of more than one HUD Field Office, a separate application, under each code, shall be considered for funding with the cumulative total of vouchers applied for under the applications not to exceed the maximum number of vouchers the PHA is eligible to apply for under this NOFO (i.e., no more than the number of vouchers the same PHA would be eligible to apply for if it had only one PHA code number). Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations are not eligible to compete for, or receive, awards made under this announcement.

Is this a realistic fit?

• No cost sharing or match is required.

What the grant funds

The Family Unification Program (FUP) is a program under which public housing authorities (PHAs) that partner with public child welfare agencies (PCWAs) provide Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) assistance to two groups: 1. Families for whom the lack of adequate housing is a primary factor in the imminent placement of the family’s child, or children, in out-of-home care; or the delay in the discharge of the child, or children, to the family from out-of-home care; and 2. Youth at least 18 years and not more than 24 years of age (have not reached their 25th birthday) who left foster care, or will leave foster care within 90 days, in accordance with a transition plan described in Section 475(5)(H) of the Social Security Act, and are homeless or are at risk of becoming homeless at age 16 or older. There is no time limit on FUP vouchers issued to families. As required by statute, FUP vouchers issued to youth are limited to 36 months. The Fostering Stable Housing Opportunities (FSHO) amendments (Section 103 of Division Q of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Pub. L. 116-260)) provides FUP youth an extension of the 36-month time limit for up to an additional 24 months if they meet certain requirements. FSHO applies to FUP youth who first leased or leases a unit after the date of enactment of FSHO, December 27, 2020, which includes youth that will be assisted with funding under this NOFO. HUD published an FSHO implementation notice in the Federal Register on January 24, 2022 (87 FR 3570).
