Topics covered in the Notice of Funding Availability
The Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) is a notice published by HUD each year. The NOFA describes the type of funding available on a competitive basis, and the factors and criteria that will be used to select grantees. Certain details and requirements related to the ROSS program may change from year to year. These may include eligibility information for applicants and participants (including cost sharing or matching requirements) and maximum award amounts. To obtain the most up-to-date information, please refer to the current Program NOFA. Any changes from the previous year will be listed in a section entitled “Changes from Previous NOFA.”
