Choice Neighborhoods Implementation Grants for Fiscal Year 2025

The Choice Neighborhoods program focuses on the revitalization of severely distressed public housing and the surrounding areas. Local governments, public housing agencies, residents, and other partners work together to create and carry out neighborhood plans to accomplish these goals. The program has three main goals: Housing, People, and Neighborhood. The Housing goal aims to redevelop severely distressed public housing into good quality, mixed-income housing. The People goal aims to help residents improve their lives through upward mobility, employment, and self-sufficiency. The Neighborhood goal aims to revitalize distressed neighborhoods by attracting long-term reinvestment from private and other public sources. • The program is open to local governments and public housing agencies that previously received a Choice Neighborhoods Planning Grant. • The program requires a matching requirement, where grantees must secure and use at least five percent of the grant amount in cash or in-kind donations. • The program has a maximum grant award of $26 million. • The program has a performance period of up to 96 months.
