Friday news roundup 5/2/14

Monday’s webcast on the 2014 notice of funding availability (NOFA) for the HCV and public housing family self-sufficiency (FSS) programs is now available for viewing on demand in the HUD webcast archive. You can also watch it here on the HUD channel at YouTube. For the PowerPoint presentation shown during the webcast, click here.

Previously the 2014 FSS NOFA was accessible only at Grants.gov. It is now accessible, as well, at HUD’s "Funds Available" website. While in previous years HUD issued two separate NOFAs for the HCV and public housing programs, this year the NOFA is combined. You’ll find the 2014 combined FSS NOFA on this page. The application deadline is May 29.
