Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA RD HCFP HPG 2020
The Rural Housing Preservation Grant (HPG) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered through the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Housing Service (RHS). Its purpose is to fund repair and rehabilitation activities that help preserve safe, decent housing in rural communities, with a strong focus on serving very low-income and low-income households. Rather than awarding funds directly to individual homeowners, the program provides grant funds to eligible organizations so they can carry out housing preservation projects in rural areas.
HPG funding is aimed at two main types of work. First, it supports organizations that help very low- and low-income rural homeowners repair and rehabilitate their homes, which can include addressing major health and safety issues, correcting code deficiencies, improving structural integrity, and completing other essential updates that allow residents to remain in stable housing. Second, the program can support repairs and rehabilitation for rental properties and cooperative housing complexes, as long as the owners agree to make the improved units available to very low- and low-income occupants. In practical terms, this means the program is designed to keep existing rural housing stock livable and affordable, rather than focusing on new construction.
Eligible applicants include a broad set of public and nonprofit entities, such as state, county, and city or township governments, federally recognized tribal governments, certain tribal organizations, and nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits). The program description also notes that faith-based and community organizations may be among the eligible nonprofit applicants, along with other eligible entities as clarified in the official notice. The agency references its governing regulations at 7 CFR part 1944, subpart N, which require RHS to publicly announce the opening and closing dates for the receipt of preapplications; the notice is intended to formally communicate those dates to potential applicants.
