Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) - The Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) is a notice published each year in Grants.gov for HUD’s Discretionary Funding Programs. This notice describes the type of funding available on a competitive basis and provides a contact where an application may be submitted, typically up to 60 to 90 days from the date of NOFA publication. Selection will then be made based upon specific factors and criteria identified within the NOFA.
