HUD's Sustainable Communities grants are helping communities - and getting an impressive return on investment By Alex Dodds , December 1, 2012 The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Office of Sustainable Housing and Communities (OSHC) has already helped hundreds of towns and cities across the country become economically stronger, environmentally sustainable, and more inclusive through its workshops, technical resources and grant programs.
As a new report explains, these programs are also making the most of federal investments. OSHC's 2011 accomplishments update explains that the Office's 152 grants in 48 states, totaling $240 million, generated almost $253 million in private investments and commitments from local partners.
The Sustainable Communities grants, one of the major grant programs administered by the Office, generated $115 million in matching and in-kind contributions – more than 120% of the original $95. 8 million invested. The Office's accomplishments report is a compendium of some of the most interesting smart growth projects in the works today.
For example: With a $3. 7 million grant from HUD as the catalyst, the Austin, TX region is linking its long-term regional transportation plan and local public works capital plans to 37 mixed-use centers.
These hubs of offices, light manufacturing, residential, and commercial uses, strategically positioned along the region's transit system, are expected to generate over 7,000 new permanent jobs in the next 10 years, in addition to supporting thousands of construction jobs as the projects are built.
OSHC is the Department of Housing and Urban Development's representative to the Partnership for Sustainable Communities , an unprecedented collaboration between HUD, DOT, and EPA.
By coordinating federal investments in infrastructure, facilities, and services, the Partnership is laying the groundwork for an economy that provides good jobs now and creates a strong foundation for long-term prosperity that can meet multiple economic, environmental, and community objectives with each dollar spent. The Partnership for Sustainable Communities helping to create great neighborhoods across the country.

On September 16, 2026, the First Circuit granted HUD an emergency stay of the order that had erased the FY2026 Continuum of Care competition. HUD reopened e-snaps on September 18 with a September 30, 8:00 PM ET deadline, one technical correction shortening applicant notification from 15 days to 7, and a waiver letting private nonprofits administer rental assistance. Here is what the stay does and does not decide, why your award may still be provisional, and the exact sequence to run in the days you have left.
Read articleFive weeks after a federal judge vacated the FY2026 Continuum of Care NOFO in its entirety, HUD published a Notice of Research Justifying Additional Incentives for Certain Activities To Reduce Homelessness. It is not a NOFO and not a proposed rule — it is the administrative record HUD needs to reissue the same policy and survive the next lawsuit. Here is what the four named activities tell you about the revised competition, why the October 13 comment deadline is now the real leverage point, and what CoC leads should be building right now.
Read articleThe September 1, 2026 revision to the Moving to Work Expansion Operations Notice (FR-5994-N-07) took effect on publication. It removes the 10 percent HAP-budget ceiling on Local Non-Traditional Activities, raises work-requirement and imputed-income safe harbors to 40 hours a week, cuts the minimum term-limited assistance period to two years, and strikes disparate impact from the impact-analysis requirement. Congress, meanwhile, just banned the next MTW cohort from doing most of it.
