Opportunity Information: Apply for FR 6400 N 62

The HUD FY2020 Healthy Homes and Weatherization Cooperation Demonstration (Funding Opportunity Number FR 6400 N 62) is a discretionary grant program run by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development that uses cooperative agreements to support on-the-ground demonstrations in communities where both Healthy Homes/Lead programs and the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) operate. The central idea is straightforward: many households need both health-related home repairs (like addressing lead hazards, moisture, mold, pests, and other safety issues) and energy upgrades (like insulation, air sealing, and heating system improvements). These needs often overlap, but the programs that pay for them can be siloed. HUD is funding a small number of local demonstration projects to test whether tighter coordination between these programs produces better health and housing outcomes, reduces administrative friction, and lowers overall costs.

The purpose of the demonstration is to determine whether coordinated delivery of healthy homes remediation activities alongside energy conservation measures leads to measurable improvements in the safety and quality of housing, while also being cost-effective. In practice, this means grantees are expected to plan and implement joint approaches where weatherization work and lead/healthy homes interventions are aligned in scheduling, client intake, home assessment, and the sequencing of repairs. A major focus is on solving real implementation problems that can prevent weatherization from moving forward when a home has health or safety hazards. By deliberately linking WAP services with Lead/Healthy Homes (LHH) resources, the demonstration aims to show whether a coordinated pipeline can serve households more completely rather than forcing families to navigate multiple agencies and timelines.

HUD highlights several core goals and objectives for applicants. First, the program seeks to identify effective strategies for coordination between LHH and weatherization providers that maximize efficiency and deliver the greatest benefit to occupants. This includes practical coordination methods such as shared intake processes, joint home assessments, coordinated scopes of work, and better communication protocols between partner organizations. Second, the opportunity specifically aims to reduce WAP deferrals. Deferrals happen when weatherization providers cannot proceed because underlying issues like roof leaks, electrical hazards, mold, structural problems, or lead-based paint hazards must be addressed first. By coordinating with LHH programs that can remediate or fund those health and safety issues, the demonstration is meant to decrease the number of homes that get stuck in deferral status and never receive energy upgrades.

Another major objective is to establish sustainable models of inter-program cooperation that can continue after the grant period ends. HUD explicitly calls out data sharing, reporting, and targeting or recruiting clients as key elements of sustainability. In other words, the demonstration is not only about completing repairs in a set of homes, but also about building an operational model: how partners identify eligible households, refer clients between programs, securely exchange information, track outcomes, and report results in a way that is repeatable and scalable. Related to that, HUD also wants projects to identify effective financing models for coordinated healthy homes and weatherization interventions, recognizing that lasting cooperation often requires a clear plan for braiding or aligning funding streams, covering gap costs, and ensuring that health and energy measures can be delivered together without delays.

From a funding standpoint, HUD anticipated making about five awards, with an award ceiling of $1,000,000 per award. The program is listed under CFDA 14.901 and is categorized under the health funding activity area, reflecting the emphasis on home-based health risk reduction alongside energy conservation improvements. The opportunity was posted on September 10, 2020, with an original closing date of November 9, 2020, and an application deadline of 11:59:59 pm Eastern Standard Time on that date.

Eligibility is broad and includes many public, nonprofit, and private entities that could plausibly lead or coordinate a local demonstration. Eligible applicants include state, county, city/township, and special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education); and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. This wide eligibility reflects the reality that weatherization and healthy homes work is delivered through a range of community action agencies, local governments, housing organizations, tribal entities, universities, and private-sector partners, and HUD is encouraging local partnerships that match the structure of service delivery in each community.

Overall, this NOFA is designed to move beyond isolated home repair or energy retrofit projects and instead test integrated, cooperative systems that can be adopted more broadly. The expected end result is practical evidence about what kinds of coordination actually work, how much they reduce deferrals, how they improve occupant safety and housing quality, and what administrative and financing approaches make collaboration sustainable over time.
