Social and Economic Impacts of the CDBG and HOME Programs
The Research and Evaluation, Demonstrations, and Data Analysis and Utilization program (referred to as "HUDRD") is managed by HUD’s Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R). Through this NOFA, HUD is announcing the availability of up to $500,000 in FY 2020 funding for research on the various eligible activities supported by the Community Development Block Grant program. The purpose of this project is to develop a better understanding of the effects of specific eligible Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and/or HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) activities. HUD recognizes that the local discretion allowed by block grant funding and the particular nature of HOME activities makes evaluation of these programs difficult. However, HUD believes that in-depth evaluations and localized case studies would provide insights into the programs’ effectiveness. HUD seeks objective, quantifiable outcome measures that can be attributed to activities supported by these programs, in order to inform policymakers at the federal, state, and local levels.
