Opportunity Information: Apply for FR 6400 N 41
The Foster Youth to Independence (FYI) Competitive opportunity is a discretionary grant program offered by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) focused on housing assistance. It is listed under CFDA 14.880 and is structured as a grant funding instrument. The eligible applicants for this competition are Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) and Indian Housing Authorities, reflecting HUDs intent to route resources through established housing agencies that can administer federal housing support and coordinate services for young people transitioning out of foster care.
This competition is identified on Grants.gov under the Funding Opportunity Title "Foster Youth to Independence (FYI) Competitive" with Funding Opportunity Number FR 6400 N 41. The notice was created on January 19, 2021, and originally closed on March 22, 2021. Applications were due by 11:59:59 pm Eastern Standard Time on the closing date. HUD projected about 40 awards under this announcement, with an award ceiling of $1,200,000, indicating that individual awards could be substantial depending on the scope of the proposal and HUDs funding decisions.
A key procedural requirement is that applicants must use Grants.gov and download two separate items: the Application Instruction download and the Application Package. HUD emphasizes that applicants need to confirm the identifying information matches the specific program and notice they intend to apply for. In practice, that means checking that the CFDA number and CFDA description shown on the first page of the application package align with the FYI program, and also confirming that the Funding Opportunity Title and Funding Opportunity Number match the official notice. This step is highlighted because Grants.gov can host multiple opportunities with similar titles or overlapping forms, and HUD wants to prevent applicants from submitting materials under the wrong listing.
The Application Package contains the fillable PDF forms needed for submission through Grants.gov, including the SF-424 family of forms and related standard federal application documents. Separately, the Application Instruction download contains the official Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) and any additional forms and documents required for a complete application. HUD notes that these instruction materials may include Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and other attachments beyond the standard PDFs, so applicants are expected to review and follow those instructions closely to avoid an incomplete or noncompliant submission.
While HUDs default expectation is electronic submission through Grants.gov, the announcement includes a limited waiver process for applicants who can show good cause for not submitting electronically. An example of good cause provided is a lack of available internet access in the geographic area where the applicants business offices are located. HUD is explicit that administrative issues like not having an active SAM registration or lacking a valid DUNS number do not count as good cause. If an applicant needs a waiver, they must request it in writing, and HUD must receive that request at least 15 days before the application deadline. HUD will also consider an email request as long as it is sent at least 15 days prior to the due date. If HUD approves the waiver, the applicant must submit a paper application, and HUD must receive that paper submission by the same application deadline stated in the NOFA. The notice indicates that waiver requests must be directed to a designated contact, though the specific contact information is not included in the text provided.Apply for FR 6400 N 41
