SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Today's Federal Register notice announces 
that HUD has posted its FY 2014 General Section on http://www.Grants.gov and http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/administration/grants/fundsavail. The General Section describes 
the requirements that are applicable to all of HUD FY 2014 
Discretionary Program NOFAs.
    The General Section also provides summary information regarding 
HUD's Strategic Goals and FY 2014 NOFA priorities. HUD encourages 
applicants for funding in FY2014 to undertake programs and projects 
that contribute to HUD's strategic goals and NOFA priorities. HUD's 
NOFA priorities are designed to align grantee efforts with HUD's 
Strategic Goals and the Department's Mission. Applicants that undertake 
activities that result in achievement of specific NOFA priorities are 
eligible to receive priority points in the rating of their application.
    Each program NOFA will describe additional procedures and 
requirements that apply to the individual program, including a 
description of the eligible applicants, eligible activities, threshold 
requirements, cross-program requirements such as nondiscrimination, 
environmental protection, and any additional program requirements or 
limitations. To adequately address all of the application requirements 
for any program, HUD encourages potential applicants to carefully read 
and respond to both the General Section and the applicable Program 
NOFA. NOFA priority points will be considered only if the application 
already meets or exceeds the NOFA's threshold for funding.
    HUD will post its FY 2014 program NOFAs on http://www.Grants.gov 
and http://www.HUD.gov as they become available. Today's notice is 
intended to provide prospective applicants for HUD's competitive 
funding with the opportunity to become familiar with the General 
Section of HUD's FY2014 NOFAs, in advance of publication of any FY2014 
NOFAs.

    Dated: February 21, 2014.

Acting Director, Office of Strategic Planning and Management.
