Opportunity Information: Apply for FR 6600 N 62
The HUD FY2022 Healthy Homes and Weatherization Cooperation Demonstration (Funding Opportunity Number FR 6600 N 62) is a discretionary HUD grant competition designed to test how well two existing federal efforts can work together when they serve the same lower-income households. Specifically, the opportunity funds demonstration projects in up to five communities that already touch households through both HUD's Healthy Homes Production (HHP) program and the US Department of Energy's Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP). The core idea is straightforward: if healthy homes hazard reduction and energy/weatherization upgrades are planned and delivered in a coordinated way, the combined approach may produce better results, reduce inefficiencies, and improve both home safety and overall housing quality while also being more cost-effective.
The grant is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means HUD expects more active involvement and collaboration during implementation than a standard grant. Awards can be as high as $1,000,000 per project, and HUD anticipated making five awards total. The program targets real-world, on-the-ground housing interventions rather than planning-only activities, with an emphasis on learning what coordination practices actually work in practice and can be sustained after the demonstration period.
A central objective is to demonstrate effective strategies for coordination between HHP and WAP that increase program efficiency and deliver clearer benefits to occupants. In practical terms, this means aligning intake, home assessments, work scopes, contractor sequencing, and client communication so households are not bounced between programs or stuck in long delays. Another major goal is to reduce WAP "deferrals," which occur when a home cannot receive weatherization services because of health and safety issues or structural problems that must be addressed first. By pairing WAP work with HHP-funded remediation, the demonstration aims to clear those barriers so more homes can actually receive energy conservation measures instead of being postponed or excluded.
HUD also emphasizes building sustainable models of inter-program cooperation, not just one-time coordination for the life of the grant. That includes creating workable approaches for data sharing and aligned reporting, along with smarter targeting and recruitment so the same eligible households can be identified efficiently and served in a coordinated workflow. In addition, the NOFO highlights the need to demonstrate sustainable financing models that can support integrated healthy homes and weatherization interventions over time. This points to leveraging and braiding resources across programs and partners so the combined approach remains viable beyond the demonstration funding.
Finally, the demonstration places strong weight on measurement and learning. Applicants are expected to support data collection that allows evaluation of what coordinated interventions achieve, including whether cost efficiencies are realized, whether indoor environmental quality improves, and whether households experience better health outcomes and additional safety benefits. The results are meant to help HUD and partners understand which coordination approaches are replicable and scalable across other communities.
Eligible applicants include a broad set of public and nonprofit entities: state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; and 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations (excluding institutions of higher education). The opportunity is administered by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development under CFDA 14.901. The posting date was November 10, 2022, with an application deadline of January 5, 2023, at 11:59:59 PM Eastern Time.Apply for FR 6600 N 62

FAQs: HUD FY2022 Healthy Homes and Weatherization Cooperation Demonstration (FR 6600 N 62)
What is this funding opportunity?
This is a discretionary HUD grant competition called the FY2022 Healthy Homes and Weatherization Cooperation Demonstration (Funding Opportunity Number FR 6600 N 62). It funds demonstration projects that test how coordinated delivery of healthy homes hazard reduction and weatherization/energy upgrades can work when both efforts serve the same lower-income households.
What is the main purpose of the demonstration?
The purpose is to show, in real communities, whether coordinating HUD's Healthy Homes Production (HHP) program with the US Department of Energy's Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) improves results for occupants, reduces inefficiencies, improves home safety and housing quality, and is more cost-effective than operating the programs separately.
How many communities or projects will be funded?
HUD anticipated funding up to five demonstration projects in up to five communities.
What is the maximum award amount per project?
Awards can be as high as $1,000,000 per project.
Is this a standard grant or a cooperative agreement?
It is structured as a cooperative agreement. This typically means HUD expects more active involvement and collaboration during implementation than with a standard grant.
Which existing programs are expected to be coordinated under this demonstration?
The demonstration focuses on coordination between HUD's Healthy Homes Production (HHP) program and the Department of Energy's Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP).
What kinds of activities does HUD want to fund with this opportunity?
The opportunity targets real-world, on-the-ground housing interventions rather than planning-only activities. The emphasis is on implementing coordinated workflows and learning what coordination practices work in practice and can be sustained after the demonstration period.
What does "coordination" mean in practical terms for this NOFO?
Coordination includes aligning intake, home assessments, work scopes, contractor sequencing, and client communication so households are not bounced between programs or stuck in long delays.
What are WAP "deferrals," and why are they important to this demonstration?
WAP deferrals occur when a home cannot receive weatherization services due to health and safety issues or structural problems that must be addressed first. A major goal of the demonstration is to reduce these deferrals by pairing WAP work with HHP-funded remediation to clear barriers that would otherwise prevent weatherization services.
Why does the NOFO emphasize reducing WAP deferrals?
Because deferrals can postpone or prevent delivery of energy conservation measures. The demonstration aims to help more homes actually receive weatherization upgrades by addressing the underlying health/safety barriers through coordinated remediation.
What outcomes is HUD trying to improve through the combined approach?
The combined approach is intended to improve home safety, overall housing quality, indoor environmental quality, and potentially household health outcomes, while also improving efficiency and cost-effectiveness through coordinated delivery.
Does the NOFO focus on one-time coordination or long-term models?
It emphasizes building sustainable models of inter-program cooperation, not just one-time coordination for the life of the grant.
What does sustainability mean in the context of this demonstration?
Sustainability includes establishing workable approaches for data sharing and aligned reporting, improving targeting and recruitment so eligible households can be identified efficiently, and demonstrating financing models that can support integrated healthy homes and weatherization interventions over time.
Does the opportunity mention leveraging or combining resources across partners?
Yes. The NOFO points to demonstrating sustainable financing models and leveraging/braiding resources across programs and partners so the integrated approach remains viable beyond the demonstration funding.
How important is measurement and learning for this opportunity?
Measurement and learning are strongly emphasized. Applicants are expected to support data collection that enables evaluation of what coordinated interventions achieve, including cost efficiencies, improvements in indoor environmental quality, and better health and safety benefits for households.
What is HUD planning to do with the results of these demonstration projects?
The results are intended to help HUD and partners understand which coordination approaches are replicable and scalable across other communities.
