The primary reason for moving to the SuperNOFA process is to help you
create and implement comprehensive, coordinated strategies to address
community problems and opportunities. Based on what we have learned from
our grantees, HUD is encouraging more widespread involvement and coordination
in addressing the array of problems facing communities. Increased coordination
can be achieved in at least four ways: coordination with the Consolidated
Plan and Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice, coordination
of different competitive grant programs (that is, those announced through
the SuperNOFA), coordination among applicants, and coordination of HUD's
competitive and formula-based programs.
This section discusses these types of coordination and provides hypothetical
examples of each, but the examples do not cover all possible ways to coordinate
HUD's programs. In fact, they barely scratch the surface. We hope that
they will spawn thinking to generate creative approaches to coordination.
This section has been written to assist both new and current
users of HUD programs. Many of you may already be familiar with these
examples. For all HUD customers, Secretary Cuomo has created a new
Community Builder position. For more ideas on coordinating HUD funding,
please call your local HUD office and speak with your community's
Community Builder. |
