FY26 Pathways to Removing Obstacles to Housing (PRO Housing)

open

Department of Housing and Urban Development

As President Trump said in his Executive Order on Removing Regulatory Barriers to Affordable Home Construction (March 13, 2026), The American dream of homeownership depends on a dynamic housing market in which a varied inventory of new homes is built and renovated each year. Layers of unnecessary regulatory barriers, slow permitting processes, and onerous mandates at all levels of government have delayed construction, restricted development, and driven up the costs of new housing. These constraints have made housing less affordable for many Americans.It is the policy of my Administration to reduce regulatory barriers to building homes and to steward taxpayer dollars in a manner that promotes housing affordability.HUD's PRO Housing program rewards communities that have taken steps to remove regulatory barriers to building and preserving homes by providing funding to further expand affordable housing, particularly homeownership opportunities and housing located in Opportunity Zones and rural communities.HUD is issuing this Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26) PRO Housing NOFO under the authority of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026, which provided $50 million for competitive grant funding for state and local governments, metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), and multijurisdictional entities. The Appropriations Act requires HUD to award grants using the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) framework. As with all CDBG assistance, the priority is to serve low- and moderate-income people and households. HUD shall select applicants that demonstrate: (1) progress and a commitment to eliminating local barriers to facilitate the increase in affordable housing production and preservation, through enactment or implementation of less restrictive zoning, land use, or permitting laws and regulations; (2) an acute need for housing affordable to households with incomes below 100 percent of the area median income; and (3) a commitment to create new homeownership units before the expiration of the funding performance period.Applicants and grantees are reminded of the President's Executive Orders on Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity (January 221, 2025) and Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferences (January 20, 2025) and their applicability to PRO Housing funding. PRO Housing funding may not be used to fund "illegal and immoral discrimination programs, going by the name 'diversity, equity, and inclusion.'"In addition to thoroughly reviewing this NOFO, applicants are strongly encouraged to monitor HUD's PRO Housing website for information about general updates, Frequently Asked Questions, and PRO Housing webinars.HUD has four goals for this competition:Decrease the cost and increase the supply of affordable housing, especially in Opportunity Zones and rural communities.Remove barriers to affordable housing, removal of which will lead to constructing or rehabilitating more units, reducing time to produce units, and unlocking land that can be used for affordable housing units.Reward jurisdictions that have enacted laws and regulations that will lead to more affordable housing production and preservation.Increase opportunities for affordable homeownership by reducing administrative and structural barriers.

HYDROGEN AND FUEL CELL TECHNOLOGIES RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, AND DEMONSTRATIONS

open

Golden Field Office

The Fuel Cell Technologies Office (FCTO) is a key component of the Department of Energy s (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) portfolio. FCTO aims to provide clean, safe, secure, affordable, and reliable energy from diverse domestic resources, providing the benefits of increased energy security and reduced criteria pollutants and green-house gas emissions by adopting a technology neutral approach towards applied research, development, and demonstration to address both key technical challenges for fuel cells and hydrogen fuels (i.e. hydrogen production, delivery and storage) and institutional barriers such as hydrogen codes and standards. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) covers a broad spectrum of the FCTO portfolio with 4 Areas of Interest (AOI): AOI 1: Research and development (R&D) for hydrogen fuel technologies AOI 2: Demonstration and deployment for manufacturing technologies and Climate Action Champions AOI 3: R&D within Consortia for fuel cell performance and durability and hydrogen storage materials AOI 4: Cost and performance analyses for hydrogen production and delivery, hydrogen storage, and fuel cells Submission schedules, cost sharing requirements, eligibility information, applicant requirements (including whether or not a Concept Paper is required), etc. vary by AOI. Please be sure to refer to the appropriate AOI document for specific requirements, schedules, eligibility, etc. The full Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is posted on the EERE eXCHANGE website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. To apply to this FOA, Applicants must register with and submit application materials through EERE Exchange at https://eere-Exchange.energy.gov, EERE s online application portal.

Long-term Implications of Early Life Exposure to the US Public Housing Program

open

OD - NIH Office of the Director

PROJECT ABSTRACT The objective of this project is to identify the long-term effects of early life exposure to public housing in the mid- 20th century—a well-funded, well-maintained, high-quality housing program—on life course health and aging. Housing is crucial for population health, but remains underemphasized as a primary social determinant. Housing is a platform of stability that allows families to invest in healthy development. The lack of affordable housing in the US—i.e. the housing affordability crisis—strains household finances, forcing families to opt for poor quality or unsafe housing, with potential implications for health and wellbeing across the life course. Short-term benefits of high-quality stable and affordable housing are well-documented, but it is unknown whether early-life improvements in housing have long-term benefits for health and aging later in life. Fundamental evidence for life course theories of health and aging indicates that social and economic conditions in early life affect health and mortality in later life. However, data limitations have precluded comprehensive research on the long-term effects of improved housing. The current project focuses on the US public housing program in 1940 and 1950. The early public housing program stands out as a major public policy achievement in that it built high quality housing for the urban working and middle class and provides a lens through which to examine the long-term effects of a large-scale public investment in housing. The project draws on a long-run multisource linkage that merges early- life housing information with later-life economic, housing, health, and mortality outcomes. The research team identified all residents of public housing in the full count 1940 census and the project proposes to expand this dataset to the full count 1950 census. The project will link these data at the individual level to a) the 2000, 2010, and 2020 Decennial Census, b) the American Community Survey 2000-2024, c) IRS 1040 tax records (1969- 1994), d) Census Numident (1975-2030), and e) Cause of death from death certificates. The analysis uses an innovative design, comparing individuals in public housing to their counterparts in surrounding neighborhoods and cities, based directly on the admission criteria for public housing during the 1930s and 1940s. The project examines the effects of early-life public housing experience on later life health and mortality outcomes, including cognitive and physical functioning, all-cause mortality, and cause of death (Aim 1). Using tax data and subsequent census information, the project also considers effects of public housing on later life socioeconomic outcomes, housing conditions, and neighborhood outcomes (Aim 2). Finally, in recognition of substantial racial discrimination in the housing market and racial residential segregation present in the mid-20th century and today, the project examines the effects of public housing on subsequent outcomes separately for Black and White individuals (Aim 3). The results will provide the most comprehensive picture of the long-term health impacts of improved housing, and, in the context of the modern housing affordability crisis, offer evidence of the population health improvements that may result from greater investment in safe, affordable, high-quality housing.
