Secretary Donovan has announced a new $25 million Rural Innovation Fund that, he says, "will stimulate new approaches to old problems" in rural "areas struggling with poor housing conditions and deep poverty."

Under the competitive program - which is a successor to prior year's Rural Housing & Economic Development grants -  Federally recognized Indian tribes, state housing finance agencies (HFAs), state community development agencies, local rural non-profit organizations, community development corporations, or consortia of these groups can apply for grants of up to $2 million for housing and economic development activities including construction, preparation of plans, land acquisition, demolition, homeownership counseling, and financial assistance. Applicants will compete in three categories.  The deadline to apply is February 22nd.
