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.Apply for FR 6400 N 62

FAQs: HUD FY2020 Healthy Homes and Weatherization Cooperation Demonstration (FR 6400 N 62)
What is this funding opportunity?
This is the HUD FY2020 Healthy Homes and Weatherization Cooperation Demonstration, a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). It uses cooperative agreements to fund a small number of local, on-the-ground demonstration projects.
What is the main idea behind the demonstration?
The demonstration is meant to test whether tighter coordination between Healthy Homes/Lead (LHH) programs and the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) helps households more effectively. Many homes need both health-and-safety repairs (for example lead hazards, moisture and mold, pests, and other safety issues) and energy upgrades (for example insulation, air sealing, and heating system improvements), but the programs and funding streams can be siloed. HUD is funding projects to see if coordinating them produces better outcomes and lowers friction and costs.
What is the purpose of the grant?
The purpose is to determine whether coordinated delivery of healthy homes remediation activities alongside energy conservation measures leads to measurable improvements in housing safety and quality, and whether that coordinated approach is cost-effective.
What kinds of activities are projects expected to carry out?
Based on the description, grantees are expected to plan and implement joint approaches that align weatherization work with lead/healthy homes interventions. That coordination can include aligning scheduling, client intake, home assessments, and the sequencing of repairs so that health/safety issues do not block energy upgrades (or vice versa).
What does HUD mean by coordinating LHH and WAP services?
HUD describes coordination as practical, operational alignment between partner organizations. Examples mentioned include shared intake processes, joint home assessments, coordinated scopes of work, and improved communication protocols between the organizations delivering healthy homes/lead and weatherization services.
What problem is this program trying to solve in real-world delivery?
A major focus is solving implementation issues that prevent weatherization from moving forward when a home has health or safety hazards. The demonstration is intended to show whether linking WAP services with LHH resources helps create a smoother, more complete service pipeline for households.
What are WAP deferrals, and why do they matter here?
Deferrals occur when weatherization providers cannot proceed because underlying problems must be addressed first. HUD lists examples such as roof leaks, electrical hazards, mold, structural problems, or lead-based paint hazards. One of the program objectives is to reduce these deferrals by coordinating with LHH programs that can remediate or fund the health and safety issues that cause deferrals.
What are the core goals and objectives HUD highlights for applicants?
HUD highlights several goals and objectives, including: identifying effective coordination strategies between LHH and weatherization providers; maximizing efficiency and benefits to occupants; reducing WAP deferrals; and building sustainable cooperation models that can continue after the grant ends (including data sharing, reporting, and client targeting/recruitment).
Is this program mainly about completing repairs in a set number of homes?
The description emphasizes that it is not only about completing repairs. HUD is also looking for an operational model that partners can repeat and scale, including how partners identify eligible households, refer clients, securely exchange information, track outcomes, and report results.
What does HUD mean by creating a "sustainable model" of cooperation?
HUD explicitly points to elements such as data sharing, reporting, and targeting or recruiting clients as key to sustainability. The idea is to build an inter-program cooperation model that continues beyond the grant period, rather than ending when grant funding ends.
Does the opportunity address financing or funding alignment?
Yes. HUD wants projects to identify effective financing models for coordinated healthy homes and weatherization interventions. The description recognizes that lasting cooperation often requires a plan for aligning or braiding funding streams, covering gap costs, and delivering health and energy measures together without delays.
How many awards did HUD anticipate making?
HUD anticipated making about five awards.
What is the maximum award amount?
The award ceiling is $1,000,000 per award.
What type of funding instrument is used?
The opportunity uses cooperative agreements.
What is the Funding Opportunity Number (FON)?
The Funding Opportunity Number listed is FR 6400 N 62.
What is the CFDA number for this program?
The program is listed under CFDA 14.901.
How is this opportunity categorized by funding activity area?
It is categorized under the health funding activity area, reflecting the emphasis on home-based health risk reduction alongside energy conservation improvements.
When was the opportunity posted?
The opportunity was posted on September 10, 2020.
What was the original closing date and application deadline?
The original closing date was November 9, 2020, with an application deadline of 11:59:59 pm Eastern Standard Time on that date.
Who is eligible to apply?
Eligibility is broad and includes: state governments; county governments; city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments; other tribal organizations; public housing authorities; 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.
Why is eligibility so broad?
The description explains that weatherization and healthy homes work is delivered through many types of organizations (community action agencies, local governments, housing organizations, tribal entities, universities, and private-sector partners). HUD is encouraging local partnerships that match how services are structured and delivered in each community.
What kinds of outcomes is HUD expecting from these demonstration projects?
The expected end result is practical evidence on what coordination approaches work, how much coordination reduces deferrals, how coordination improves occupant safety and housing quality, and what administrative and financing approaches make collaboration sustainable over time.
Is this opportunity intended to replace existing healthy homes/lead or weatherization programs?
No. The opportunity is described as a demonstration designed to improve coordination between existing Healthy Homes/Lead programs and WAP where both operate, not as a replacement for those programs.
What does HUD mean by reducing "administrative friction"?
The description points to barriers created when programs are siloed, forcing households to navigate multiple agencies and timelines. The demonstration is intended to test whether shared intake, aligned assessments, coordinated scopes of work, and stronger communication reduce those administrative hurdles for both providers and families.
What does it mean to build a "coordinated pipeline" for households?
In this context, a coordinated pipeline means households can move through a more unified process where health/safety remediation and energy upgrades are planned and delivered in a connected way, rather than being handled through disconnected steps that can lead to delays or service drop-offs.
