Capital Fund Community Facilities (CFCF) Program


The purpose of the CFCF grant program is to provide capital funding to Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) for the construction, rehabilitation, or purchase of facilities to provide early childhood education, adult education, and/or job training programs for public housing residents based on an identified need. Additionally, PHAs may use CFCF program funding to rehabilitate existing community facilities that will offer comprehensive, integrated services.


These facilities will offer comprehensive, integrated services to help public housing residents achieve better educational and economic outcomes resulting in long-term economic self-sufficiency. In accordance with Section 9 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437g) (1937 Act), and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Fiscal Year 2010 Appropriations Act (Public Law 111-117), the CFCF program provides grants to PHAs to 1) construct new community facilities; 2) purchase or acquire facilities; or 3) rehabilitate existing facilities to be used as education and training community facilities by PHA residents. The facilities are for the predominant use of PHA residents; however, non-public housing residents may participate.

Q-Must applicants submit applications electronically via the website 


A-Applicants may submit a waiver request to Jeffrey.riddel@hud.gov in order to be allowed to submit a paper application. Such a request must be submitted by 11:59:59 eastern time on December 30, 2010. See section IV.F of the CFCF NOFA. Applicants may submit a paper application only if they have been granted a waiver. Please refer to sections IV.B and F of HUDs 2010 General Section NOFA (FR-5415-N-01) for further information on requesting a waiver.

Applicants must ensure that their final submission is a complete application. Incomplete submittals will not be combined to form a complete application. See section IV.E of the CFCF NOFA.
