Opportunity Information: Apply for FR 6600 N 06
HUD's FY 2022 and FY 2023 Community Compass Technical Assistance and Capacity Building Program NOFO (Funding Opportunity Number FR 6600 N 06) is a discretionary HUD funding opportunity that uses cooperative agreements to support technical assistance (TA) and capacity building work across the housing and community development landscape. HUD made about $72,158,000 available from FY 2022 appropriations and noted that, if FY 2023 funds become available, HUD may also make FY 2023 awards from this same single competition rather than running a separate competition. The overall intent is to strengthen the ability of HUD customers to carry out HUD programs effectively, remain compliant with program requirements, and build durable organizational systems that improve performance over time.
Community Compass functions as HUD's integrated TA and capacity building platform, meaning it is designed to help grantees and other program participants tackle complicated, real-world implementation challenges by providing knowledge, skills, tools, and operational support. The emphasis is not just on one-off training, but on helping organizations develop the internal capacity and management systems needed to administer HUD funding responsibly, deliver services efficiently, and sustain improvements after the engagement ends. A key part of this program is improving administrative and managerial oversight of HUD funding so that local delivery organizations can manage grants well, track outcomes, and meet reporting and compliance obligations.
A defining feature of Community Compass is that it pulls together TA investments from multiple HUD program offices so the assistance can match how communities actually experience housing and community development work: across overlapping programs and requirements. The NOFO highlights participation and funding alignment across the Office of Community Planning and Development, the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, the Office of Housing, and the Office of Public and Indian Housing. Because communities and housing providers often interact with several HUD programs at once (and sometimes other federal programs serving the same populations), the program is built to support cross-program engagements and to help resolve intra-agency and inter-agency coordination issues. In practice, this structure allows a single TA effort to address multiple related needs at once, rather than forcing separate, disconnected support efforts for each program office.
HUD also calls out a set of emerging priorities that Community Compass TA is expected to address, reflecting current policy and operational demands in the field. These priorities include implementation needs tied to the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) 2022 Reauthorization, advancing racial and gender equity, transit-oriented development approaches, increasing housing supply, reentry housing for people leaving jails and prisons, and mental health-related housing and service considerations. This signals that HUD wants funded TA providers to be able to work in both traditional compliance-and-capacity topics and newer, fast-evolving policy areas where guidance, procedures, and local implementation models may still be developing.
Eligibility is broad, reflecting the wide range of organizations that can deliver TA at scale. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status; for-profit organizations (including entities other than small businesses); and small businesses, with an "others" category referencing additional eligibility clarifications in the full NOFO. HUD explicitly encourages applicants to assemble teams of contractors, consultants, and subject-matter experts who have experience across a wide variety of HUD programs as well as deep expertise in specific skill or policy areas. HUD also encourages teams that are diverse and include people from the communities HUD serves, emphasizing the value of lived experience in shaping and delivering technical assistance in ways that are practical and grounded.
From an award and administration standpoint, the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means HUD expects substantial involvement during the period of performance compared to a standard grant. HUD indicates an expected 45 awards, with an award ceiling of $40,000,000, suggesting that award sizes can vary significantly depending on scope, national reach, and the nature of the TA proposed. The opportunity is categorized under Housing, with CFDA number 14.259. The NOFO was created on January 27, 2023, and the original closing date was March 28, 2023, with the deadline listed as 11:59:59 PM Eastern Time on the due date.
Operationally, Community Compass is centrally managed by HUD Headquarters, but it is implemented with involvement from HUD Regional, Field, and Area Offices, which matters because TA work often depends on coordination with local HUD staff and an understanding of regional conditions and program implementation realities. Overall, this NOFO is aimed at selecting organizations (or teams) capable of delivering high-quality, cross-cutting technical assistance that helps HUD grantees and partners improve compliance, performance, equity outcomes, and long-term organizational capacity across the full spectrum of HUD housing and community development programs.Apply for FR 6600 N 06
