FY24 Award Announcement:
On January 14, 2025, The White House and HUD announced 18 awards totaling over $100 million under the Pathways to Removing Obstacles to Housing (PRO Housing) Fiscal Year 2024 Notice of Funding Opportunity. PRO Housing provides grant funding to communities that have been actively taking steps and demonstrating progress in addressing local housing barriers such as outdated local regulations and land use policies, inadequate infrastructure, lack of available financing for development, and risks associated with extreme weather and an aging housing stock. Winners of this PRO Housing competition will update state and local housing plans, revise land use policies, streamline the permitting process, provide construction funds, and take other actions to create more housing-forward communities.
HUD received considerable interest in the second round of PRO Housing funding. Over 200 applications were submitted, representing communities across 47 States including applicants from rural, suburban, and urban communities. The competition was greatly oversubscribed. For every $1 available, more than $10 in funding was requested. Successful applicants demonstrated a commitment to eliminating barriers to housing and progress toward creating more housing forward communities.
