Opportunity Information: Apply for FR 6800 N 98
The **FY24 Pathways to Removing Obstacles to Housing (PRO Housing)** grant program, administered by HUD, is designed to support communities working to eliminate barriers to affordable housing and increase housing supply. Many areas across the U.S., both urban and rural, face shortages of affordable homes, driven by restrictive zoning, infrastructure limitations, and regulatory burdens. These challenges disproportionately impact low-income households and communities of color, exacerbating housing cost burdens and displacement risks.
In 2024, **$100 million** in competitive grants will be awarded under this program, following a successful inaugural round in FY23. The goal is to provide financial support for local and state governments, metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), and multijurisdictional entities to **develop, evaluate, and implement strategies** that reduce obstacles to housing development and preservation. Eligible activities include policy reforms, infrastructure improvements, and efforts to prevent displacement.
HUD has outlined **six key goals** for this funding: - Fair and effective distribution of grants - Promotion of successful strategies for removing housing barriers - Institutionalizing long-term solutions for affordable housing - Providing technical assistance to streamline local housing efforts - Advancing fair housing by improving access to well-resourced areas - Encouraging collaboration and innovation among stakeholders
HUD will **prioritize applicants** that demonstrate a strong commitment to reducing barriers—such as restrictive zoning, permitting delays, and affordability expiration—while expanding housing opportunities for underserved communities. Additionally, proposals should focus on promoting **equity, resilience, and accessibility**, particularly in high-opportunity areas.
This funding aligns with HUD’s broader mission to **affirmatively further fair housing**, ensuring that jurisdictions take **meaningful actions** to eliminate segregation and increase access to affordable housing. Applications that highlight community-driven solutions to land-use obstacles and displacement risks will be especially competitive.
While **individuals and foreign entities are not eligible**, local governments and MPOs with overlapping jurisdictions are encouraged to collaborate on joint applications. This initiative will help address the pressing need for affordable housing across the country by fostering **inclusive, sustainable, and equitable housing policies**.Apply for FR 6800 N 98
