The program derives its authority from Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. @5301 et seq.), which is the authorizing statute for the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG), administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). On September 7, 2023, HUD posted a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) associated with these funds, under the title of Pathways to Removing Obstacles to Housing (PRO Housing). According to the NOFO, HUD anticipates awarding roughly 20 grants in amounts ranging between $1 million and $10 million. Program Overview P.L. 117-328 provided that eligible applicants for the PRO Housing program include state governments, local governments, metropolitan planning organizations, and multijurisdictional entities. It also directed HUD to prioritize funding for applicants that meet the following criteria: 1. Demonstrate progress and a commitment to overcoming local barriers to facilitate the increase in affordable housing production and preservation; and 2. Demonstrate an acute demand for housing affordable to households with incomes below 100 percent of the area median income. Additionally, in the NOFO, HUD indicated that it would prioritize applicants with demonstrated commitment to, and administration of, affordable housing development that promotes desegregation, equitable access to high-resource communities, and deconcentration of affordable housing.
