New HUD Web Tool Shows Details for Community Development Initiatives

Partner.hud.gov began in November of 2011.  It shows contact information as well as proposal details for the highest-scoring applicants to HUD’s flagship community development initiatives.  Its purpose is to encourage partnerships among philanthropic, private and public agencies, in the hope of funding sustainable improvements to our country’s troubled neighborhoods.

At first the site will cover Choice Neighborhoods grantees and runners-up, so that prospective funding agents can see promising applications that HUD wasn’t able to fund, and those that are in need of funds beyond what HUD could supply.  This site will also give us easier access to the best models, so we can see what they’re doing and possibly implement some of those things in our own communities.
