Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) in advance of publication on 
Grants.gov. HUD is making this preview available to allow interested 
applicants to review the preview of the NOFO, submit questions, and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HUD is publishing a preview of the PRO 
Housing NOFO to give interested applicants time to prepare their 
applications prior to the opening of the application period. HUD 
expects that this preview will be available for at least 30 days before 
HUD publishes the official NOFO on Grants.gov and begins to take 
applications. During this preview, the PRO Housing NOFO preview is 
available on HUD's website at the following URL: https://www.hud.gov/grants.
    This NOFO preview is subject to change. While HUD does not intend 
to make substantive changes at this point, applicants should consider 
the NOFO published on Grants.gov to be the official version.
    HUD will not accept applications during the preview period. 
However,

[[Page 49489]]

during this preview, interested applicants may submit questions on the 
NOFO preview to the following email address: [email protected] 
(see Section VII of the NOFO preview). Interested applicants may also 
conduct the required registration activities for the System for Award 
Management (SAM), Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), and Grants.gov (see 
Section IV.C. of the NOFO preview).
    HUD strongly encourages interested applicants to begin working on 
their application during the preview period as the NOFO requires public 
participation (see Section VI.E.5.a.iii of the NOFO preview). Please 
note that while interested applicants may work on their applications 
and accompanying materials during the preview period, the NOFO requires 
that no materials to be submitted be signed before the date the NOFO is 
published on Grants.gov.
    HUD anticipates that the PRO Housing NOFO will be published on 
Grants.gov in September 2023. The publication of the PRO Housing NOFO 
on Grants.gov will signal the opening of the application period. The 
application period will be open for at least 30 days, with applications 
due October 30, 2023. Applications must be submitted through 
Grants.gov.
    HUD will not accept requests for a waiver of electronic submission 
requirements during the preview period. Such requests may only be 
submitted once the NOFO has been published on Grants.gov (see Section 
IV.A. of the NOFO preview).

Director, Office of Block Grant Assistance.
