pre-development costs, capital costs for 

a regionally significant development or 

infrastructure investment, or land 

acquisition investments. We are 

considering how to make best use of 

new federal dollars in the context of 

existing programs and their 

requirements—and also in the context of 

innovative practices in the field. 

Applicants would need to demonstrate 

that they have in place an adopted 

regional vision that is substantially 

consistent with the Livability 

Principles, metrics identified in the 

published NOFA to measure 

performance, and have commitments 

from affected participating partners to 

initiate implementation efforts, but have 

funding gaps that could be closed 

within the grant limits for this program. 

HUD seeks comments on the 

following questions: 

—Would ‘‘pre-certification’’ be an added 

value and, if so, what programs 

should this approach apply to? What 

criteria should be considered for 

meeting the ‘‘pre-certification’’ status? 

—Is the direct support of 

implementation activities appropriate 

within this Program given the limited 

amount of resources and the expected 

modest size of grants? 

—What criteria should be used to judge 

that an applicant successfully 

demonstrates that it has an adopted 

regional vision and that the project for 

funding under this category is truly 

catalytic? 

—Specifically, what criteria should be 

considered for a project to be 

catalytic? 

—What types of activities might be 

included, the timeframe by what time 

the project should be completed, and 

how much leveraging should be 

considered appropriate for 

demonstrating that the proposed 

investment will serve as a region’s 

commitment to a sustainable future? 

B. Entities Eligible for Funding 

In the Program, HUD is considering as 

an eligible entity a multi-jurisdictional 

and multi-sector partnership consisting 

of a consortium of units of general local 

government and all government, civic, 

philanthropic and business entities with 

a responsibility for implementing a 

Regional Plan for Sustainable 

Development. 

HUD seeks input on the following 

questions: 

—Should certain entities be required 

partners in multi-jurisdictional 

regions such as a metropolitan 

planning organization as defined in 

23 CFR 450.104, or a rural planning 

organization or network of rural 

planning organizations in a rural area? 

—What definitions should HUD use to 

define a rural multi-jurisdictional 

region eligible for funding? 

—What units of government should be 

allowed to serve as a lead agency for 

funding purposes? 

—What should demonstrate 

commitment on the part of each 

member organization, and whether 

there should be a minimum number 

of member organizations? 

C. Selection Criteria 

In evaluating an application for a 

grant, HUD, in partnership with DOT 

and EPA, will evaluate whether the 

application furthers the creation of 

livable communities by advancing 

regional planning that integrates 

housing, transportation, and 

environmental decisions and the extent 

to which the applicant represents a 

strong collaboration effort for the region 

in question. 

HUD seeks input on how to judge the 

capacity of the regional entity to carry 

out the proposed Program, including the 

extent of technical and organizational 

capacity to conduct the project in the 

proposed timeframe, past experience in 

implementing a planning process, and/ 

or an implementation project as 

proposed, and the extent to which the 

consortium has developed partnerships 

throughout an entire metropolitan or 

rural area, including, as appropriate, 

partnerships with the entities described 

above. Specifically, should a needs 

assessment be required as an 

application submission requirement, 

and, if so, what data elements should be 

mandatory in judging need and the 

scope of the needs assessment to ensure 

that it addresses the comprehensive 

needs of the region? 

While HUD specifically seeks 

comment on the foregoing questions, 

HUD welcomes additional information 

that will help inform the Sustainable 

Communities Planning Grant Program.
