Questions
When do affordable housing grants close?
The next deadline is November 2, 2026 for Fair Housing Initiatives Program - Education and Outreach Initiative. 4 programs take applications at any time.
Who gets federal housing grants?
Mostly states and local governments, which pass HUD money to nonprofits and developers. Bank foundations also fund housing nonprofits directly.
Do I have to pay to apply for a grant?
No. Real grant programs never charge to apply or to receive an award. Anyone asking for a fee before you get grant money is running a scam.
