HUD�s Major Non-competitive Programs

HUD�s competitive grant programs are meant to work in tandem with the efforts associated with HUD�s larger formula-based programs and Section 8 contract renewals. Whereas the competitive programs covered in the User�s Guide have approximately $2.7 billion in FY98 appropriations, HUD�s formula-based programs and Section 8 contract renewals total more than $20 billion.

This section provides descriptions of HUD�s major non-competitive programs, which include:

• Community Development Block Grants (CDBG)
• HOME Investment Partnerships Program
• Section 8 Rental Certificates and Rental Vouchers Programs and Contract Renewals
• Public Housing Operating Subsidy
• Public Housing Modernization�Comprehensive Grants Program (CGP)
• Indian Housing Block Grants (IHBG)
• Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG)
• Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA)�Formula
• Fair Housing Assistance Program (FHAP)

Together, these programs account for the majority of grant funding provided by HUD and set the context in which the competitive grant programs operate.
