Older Adults Home Modification Grant Program | FR 6400 N 69

Opportunity Information: Apply for FR 6400 N 69

The Older Adults Home Modification Grant Program is a discretionary federal funding opportunity administered by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to support practical home modifications that help older adults live more safely and independently in their homes. In plain terms, the program is aimed at reducing hazards in the home environment and improving accessibility so older residents can age in place, avoid preventable injuries, and maintain stability in their housing. The opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means HUD expects a more active role in overseeing or collaborating on key parts of the funded work compared to a standard grant.

This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: FR 6400 N 69) falls under the Health and Housing activity categories and is also tagged with Opportunity Zone Benefits, indicating the program may align with broader place-based community investment priorities. The program is associated with CFDA number 14.921, which is the federal catalog identifier used to track and reference the assistance listing for this type of HUD funding.

Eligible applicants include a wide range of public and nonprofit entities: state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). This eligibility setup suggests the program is intended for organizations that can directly manage local service delivery, coordinate with housing and community partners, and oversee modification work in residential settings.

The funding parameters indicate a relatively substantial potential award size, with an award ceiling of $1,250,000 per award and an expected total of about 30 awards. That scale points to a program designed to support multi-home or community-wide efforts rather than one-off projects, likely requiring applicants to demonstrate the capacity to identify eligible households, assess modification needs, manage contractors or service providers, and document outcomes.

The opportunity was created on March 2, 2021, with an original application closing date of May 4, 2021. The deadline specified for submission is 11:59:59 pm Eastern Standard Time on the closing date, which is the typical federal grants portal cutoff format and implies that late submissions would not be accepted.

Overall, this grant opportunity is focused on funding home modification activities for older adults, administered by HUD as a cooperative agreement, open to government entities and qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofits, with awards potentially reaching up to $1.25 million and an anticipated cohort of roughly 30 funded recipients.
