Choice Neighborhoods 
The Choice Neighborhoods program leverages significant public and private dollars to support locally driven strategies that address struggling neighborhoods with distressed public or HUD-assisted housing through a comprehensive approach to neighborhood transformation. Local leaders, residents, and stakeholders, such as public housing authorities, cities, schools, police, business owners, nonprofits, and private developers, come together to create and implement a plan that revitalizes distressed HUD housing and addresses the challenges in the surrounding neighborhood. The program helps communities transform neighborhoods by revitalizing severely distressed public and/or assisted housing and catalyzing critical improvements in the neighborhood, including vacant property, housing, businesses, services and schools.
Details
Eligible home types:
Mixed-income multifamily properties that are replacing distressed public or assisted housing
Eligible recipients:
PHAs, local governments, tribal entities, and nonprofits
Eligible uses:
Planning grants: development of a comprehensive neighborhood Transformation Plan, plus "Early Action Activities" (i.e. physical neighborhood improvements that enhance and accelerate the transformation of the neighborhood) as identified through the planning process. The following types of activities may be considered Early Action Activities: reclaiming vacant property, beautification/placemaking/community arts projects, homeowner and business facade improvement programs, neighborhood broadband/Wi-Fi infrastructure and installation, fresh food initiatives, and gap financing for economic development projects. Note: housing development activates are not eligible to receive funding through Choice Neighborhoods planning grants. Implementation grants: replacement of distressed public and assisted housing with high-quality mixed-income housing and revitalization of existing housing that is receiving project-based rental assistance (PBRA). Additionally, up to 15% of implementation grants may support services for residents and another 15% may be used for critical community improvements that will support broader neighborhood reinvestment. Critical community improvements include: financing for commercial space, micro loan funds, business improvement grants/loans, homeowner facade improvement programs, placemaking, neighborhood Wi-Fi, parks related to housing, food incubators, and urban farms.
Affordability requirements:
Transformation Plans must demonstrate that each current tenant will be able to receive the replacement housing, if they are lease-compliant at the time of relocation and they wish to return. Plans must provide an adequate number of replacement housing units that can be occupied by households with incomes up to 80 percent AMI (i.e. they cannot be subject to requirements to serve a lower income level by another funding source). Any redevelopment activities funded by Choice Neighborhoods implementation grants must meet a one-for-one replacement requirement for any public and/or assisted housing units.
Geography funding is available to :
Neighborhoods where at least 20% of residents are estimated to be in poverty or have extremely low-incomes
