Opportunity Information: Apply for FR 6900 N 14
The Jobs Plus NOFO for Fiscal Year 2025 is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) focused on employment, labor, and training activities (CFDA 14.895). It is issued under Funding Opportunity Number FR 6900 N 14 and was created on August 12, 2025. The application deadline listed is October 27, 2025. HUD anticipates making around 15 awards, with an award ceiling of $3,700,000 per grant, meaning individual awards can be up to that amount depending on the final selections and the specifics of the proposed projects.
Eligibility is tightly limited. Only public housing authorities (PHAs) are eligible to apply, and only if they operate one or more public housing projects organized as Asset Management Projects (AMPs) that meet the program requirements described in the NOFO. In other words, a PHA cannot apply in the abstract; it must be proposing work tied to an eligible public housing project or projects that satisfy the criteria HUD lays out for eligible target sites (referenced in the NOFO as Section II.A.4, Criteria for Eligible Public Housing Projects). The opportunity also notes that PHAs should pay close attention to additional eligibility details in Section III.A.1, which is where HUD spells out the applicant eligibility criteria more fully.
PHAs that have received Jobs Plus funding in the past are not automatically excluded, but there is an important restriction on what they can propose. A PHA may apply again under this FY 2025 competition; however, any AMP (target site) that was previously funded through a prior Jobs Plus grant cannot be proposed again as the target site for an FY 2025 Jobs Plus application. Practically speaking, that means repeat applicants need to designate a different eligible AMP as the focus of the new application rather than trying to re-fund the same development that already benefited from earlier Jobs Plus funding.
Several categories of entities are explicitly ineligible. Federally recognized tribes and tribally designated housing entities are not eligible applicants for this NOFO. Likewise, individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations are not eligible to compete for or receive awards under this announcement. The eligible applicant category listed in the source data is "Public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, Others," but the narrative eligibility language clarifies that the program is limited to PHAs meeting the specific public housing project (AMP) criteria, and it expressly excludes tribally designated housing entities and tribes for this particular NOFO.
One small but practical detail included in the opportunity description is an email instruction: the subject line of the email message should be "FY 2025 Jobs Plus NOFO." That instruction is tied to the application process and is meant to ensure messages related to this competition are correctly identified and routed, so applicants should follow it exactly when communicating with HUD as directed in the NOFO.Apply for FR 6900 N 14
