ITEM CATEGORY SPONSORED BY
Grant Penny Luebs
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
Neighborhood and Housing Development is applying for funding from the Department of Housing
and Urban Development for the 2025 Comprehensive Housing Counseling (CHC) program. The
CHC Grant Program provides targeted housing counseling and group education in priority areas:
rental counseling for HUD-assisted households transitioning to unassisted housing; post-purchase
housing counseling for eligible homeowners, disaster preparedness and recovery counseling for
HUD-assisted households and eligible homeowners, and homeless prevention counseling.
The purpose of the grant funding is to provide support to housing counseling agencies that provide
information, advice, and tools for individuals seeking, financing, maintaining, renting, owning a
home, and to help individuals make informed decisions about their housing options.
If awarded, funding will be used to partially fund one (1) Special Revenue (SR) Full-Time Eligible
(FTE) Housing Counseling Supervisor and two (2) SR FTE Neighborhood and Housing
Development Specialist Senior positions. These positions are funded through the Community
Development Block Grant CARES grant (CDBG-CV).
POLICY ANALYSIS
• Per HUD guidelines, an applicant does not request a specific funding amount on their
application. HUD will review the application and determine an award amount per applicant. In
2022, NHD was awarded $51,149 under this grant program.
• If awarded, funding would support the Neighborhood and Housing Division (NHD) as the
acting Housing Counseling Agency. This award would not include any subawards to external
agencies. Per HUD guidelines, this funding is not intended to fully fund NHD's counseling
personnel.
• NHD's Housing Counseling Program is currently supported by CDBG-CV (CARES Act) grant
funds, which expire June 2026; $135,438.43 remains of the CDBG-CV funding. The
department has noted that this funding will carry forward the Housing Counseling Program
until June 2026. The CARES Act was signed in 2022 with the primary goal of funding public
services benefiting low-income persons through coronavirus-related emergency
rent/mortgage/utility relief. Per resolution #20235, NHD received CDBG-CV funds in the
amount of $3,166,997 and funds in the amount of $3,999,312 per resolution #21187, for a
total amount of $7,166,309. Resolution #2025-6111 approved Amendment #2, to partially
fund an additional thirteen (13) Special Revenue NHD positions.
• The Housing Counseling Program is also partially supported by the Annual Action Plan
($320,046), via resolution #2025-5750, and the Michigan State Housing Development
Authority ($15,000), via resolution #2025-5547. NHD's operating cost for the FY 2024
Housing Counseling Program was $439,059.

Instructions
Overview.
A. Coverage. You must complete this report if:
(1) You are applying for assistance from HUD for a specific project or
activity and you have received, or expect to receive, assistance from
HUD in excess of $200,000 during the fiscal year;
(2) You are updating a prior report as discussed below; or
(3) You are submitting an application for assistance to an entity other
than HUD, a State or local government if the application is required by
statute or regulation to be submitted to HUD for approval or for any
other purpose.
B. Update reports (filed by "Recipients" of HUD Assistance): General. All
recipients of covered assistance must submit update reports to the
Department to reflect substantial changes to the initial applicant disclosure
reports.
Line-by-Line Instructions.
Applicant/Recipient Information.
All applicants for HUD competitive assistance, must complete the
information required in blocks 1-5 of form HUD-2880:
1. Enter the full name, address, city, State, zip code, and telephone number
(including area code) of the applicant/recipient. Where the applicant/
recipient is an individual, the last name, first name, and middle initial must
be entered.
2. Entry of the applicant/recipient's EIN, as appropriate, is optional.
Individuals must not include social security numbers on this form.
3. Applicants enter the HUD program name under which the assistance is
being requested.
4. Applicants enter the amount of HUD assistance that is being requested.
Recipients enter the amount of HUD assistance that has been provided and
to which the update report relates. The amounts are those stated in the
application or award documentation. NOTE: In the case of assistance that is
provided pursuant to contract over a period of time (such as project-based
assistance under section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937), the
amount of assistance to be reported includes all amounts that are to be
provided over the term of the contract, irrespective of when they are to be
received.
5. Applicants enter the name and full address of the project or activity for
which the HUD assistance is sought. Recipients enter the name and full
address of the HUD-assisted project or activity to which the update report
relates. The most appropriate government identifying number must be
used (e.g., RFP No.; IFB No.; grant announcement No.; or contract, grant, or
loan No.) Include prefixes.
Part I. Threshold Determinations - Applicants Only
Part I contains information to help the applicant determine whether the
remainder of the form must be completed. Recipients filing Update Reports
should not complete this Part.
If the answer to either questions 1 or 2 is No, the applicant need not
complete Parts II and III of the report but must sign the certification at the
end of the form.
Part II. Other Government Assistance and Expected Sources and Uses
of Funds.
A. Other Government Assistance. This Part is to be completed by both
applicants and recipients for assistance and recipients filing update reports.
Applicants and recipients must report any other government assistance
involved in the project or activity for which assistance is sought. Applicants
and recipients must report any other government assistance involved in the
project or activity. Other government assistance is defined in note 4 on the
last page. For purposes of this definition, other government assistance is
expected to be made available if, based on an assessment of all the
circumstances involved, there are reasonable grounds to anticipate that the
assistance will be forthcoming.
Both applicant and recipient disclosures must include all other
government assistance involved with the HUD assistance, as well as any
other government assistance that was made available before the request,
but that has continuing vitality at the time of the request. Examples of this
latter category include tax credits that provide for a number of years of tax
benefits, and grant assistance that continues to benefit the project at the
time of the assistance request.
The following information must be provided:
1. Enter the name and address, city, State, and zip code of the government
agency making the assistance available.
2. State the type of other government assistance (e.g., loan, grant, loan
insurance).
3. Enter the dollar amount of the other government assistance that is, or is
expected to be, made available with respect to the project or activities for
which the HUD assistance is sought (applicants) or has been provided
(recipients).
4. Uses of funds. Each reportable use of funds must clearly identify the
purpose to which they are to be put. Reasonable aggregations may be
used, such as "total structure" to include a number of structural costs, such
as roof, elevators, exterior masonry, etc.
B. Non-Government Assistance. Note that the applicant and recipient
disclosure report must specify all expected sources and uses of funds - both
from HUD and any other source - that have been or are to be, made
available for the project or activity. Non-government sources of Form
HUD-2880 funds typically include (but are not limited to) foundations and
private contributors.
Part III. Interested Parties.
This Part is to be completed by both applicants and recipients filing update
reports. Applicants must provide information on:
1. All developers, contractors, or consultants involved in the application for
the assistance or in the planning, development, or implementation of the
project or activity and
2. Any other person who has a financial interest in the project or activity for
which the assistance is sought that exceeds $50,000 or 10 percent of the
assistance (whichever is lower). Note: A financial interest means any
financial involvement in the project or activity, including (but not limited
to) situations in which an individual or entity has an equity interest in the
project or activity, shares in any profit on resale or any distribution of
surplus cash or other assets of the project or activity, or receives
compensation for any goods or services provided in connection with the
project or activity. Residency of an individual in housing for which
assistance is being sought is not, by itself, considered a covered financial
interest.
The information required below must be provided.
1. Enter the full names and addresses. If the person is an entity, the listing
must include the full name and address of the entity as well as the CEO.
Please list all names alphabetically.
2. Entry of the Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), for non-individuals, or city of
residence, for individuals, for each organization and person listed is
optional.
3. Enter the type of participation in the project or activity for each person
listed: i.e., the person's specific role in the project (e.g., contractor,
consultant, planner, investor).
4. Enter the financial interest in the project or activity for each person listed.
The interest must be expressed both as a dollar amount and as a
percentage of the amount of the HUD assistance involved.
Note that if any of the source/use information required by this report has
been provided elsewhere in this application package, the applicant need
not repeat the information, but need only refer to the form and location to
incorporate it into this report. (It is likely that some of the information
required by this report has been provided on SF 424A, or on various budget
forms accompanying the application.) If this report requires information
beyond that provided elsewhere in the application package, the applicant
must include in this report all the additional
PREVIEW Date : Apr 28 , 2026 Workspace ID : WS01641658 Funding Opportunity Number: FR-6900 -N-33
Form HUD-2880 (02/23)
information required. Recipients must submit an update report for any
change in previously disclosed sources and uses of funds as provided in
Section I.D.5., above.
Notes:
1. All citations are to 24 CFR Part 4, which was published in the Federal
Register. [April 1, 1996, at 63 Fed. Reg. 14448.]
2. Assistance means any contract, grant, loan, cooperative agreement, or
other form of assistance, including the insurance or guarantee of a loan or
mortgage, that is provided with respect to a specific project or activity
under a program administered by the Department. The term does not
include contracts, such as procurements contracts, that are subject to the
Fed. Acquisition Regulation (FAR) (48 CFR Chapter 1).
3. See 24 CFR §4.9 for detailed guidance on how the threshold is calculated.
4. "Other government assistance" is defined to include any loan, grant,
guarantee, insurance, payment, rebate, subsidy, credit, tax benefit, or any
other form of direct or indirect assistance from the Federal government
(other than that requested from HUD in the application), a State, or a unit of
general local government, or any agency or instrumentality thereof, that is,
or is expected to be made, available with respect to the project or activities
for which the assistance is sought.
5. For the purpose of this form and 24 CFR Part 4, "person" means an
individual (including a consultant, lobbyist, or lawyer); corporation;
company; association; authority; firm; partnership; society; State, unit of
general local government, or other government entity, or agency thereof
(including a public housing agency); Indian tribe; and any other
organization or group of people.

TRAINING NOFO (FY2025) CHARTS
To successfully apply for the Comprehensive Housing Counseling and the Housing Counseling Training Notice of Funding
Opportunity (NOFO) Fiscal Year 2025, Applicants should review the NOFO in its entirety and carefully follow the application
instructions.
The instructions on this page are specific to the program in which Applicants seek to apply.
Comprehensive Housing Counseling (CHC)
The Comprehensive Housing Counseling (CHC) application requires Applicants to submit responses using the HUD-9906,
which includes Chart A (formerly Form HUD-9906-L and Form HUD-9906-P, Charts A1 and A2), Chart B (formerly Form HUD-
9906-L and Form HUD-9906-P, Charts B1 and B2), Chart C (formerly Form HUD-9906-L and Form HUD-9906 P Charts C1
and C2), and Chart D (formerly Form HUD-9906-L and Form HUD-9906-P, Charts D1 and D2). In addition to these charts,
Applicants that are an Intermediary, State Housing Finance Agency (SHFA), or Multi-State Organization (MSO) will need to
submit a completed HUD-9906 Chart A Supplement (Excel), formerly Form HUD-9906 Chart A2 Supplement (Excel).
Additionally, all Applicants will need to submit HUD-9906 Chart F (Excel), to identify all non-federal, diversified funding
resources used to support housing counseling activities during October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025.
Applicants interested in being considered for the Minority Serving Institutions (MSI) Initiative funding will need to complete
HUD-9906 Chart E.
Failure to submit the completed HUD-9906 Chart A, B, C, D, HUD-9906 Chart A Supplement (Excel), or HUD-9906 Chart F

Housing Counseling Training (HCT)
The Housing Counseling Training (HCT) application was formerly submitted under the Training Notice of Funding

which consists of four separate charts, to receive full points. The charts include Chart G1 (formerly HUD-92910 Charts A
and Chart B), Chart G2 (formerly HUD-92910 Chart C), Chart G3 (formerly HUD-92910 Chart D), and Chart G4 (formerly
HUD-92910 Chart E). Applicants interested in being considered for an MSI HCT award will not need to submit HUD-9906
Chart E, but must include a scholarship element, detailing the full or partial costs to be awarded to individuals enrolled in a
HUD-certified housing counselor workforce development program sponsored by the Applicant and an institution of higher
education including, but not limited to, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU), Tribal Colleges and Universities

BURDEN STATEMENT: COMPREHENSIVE HOUSING COUNSELING AND THE HOUSING
COUNSELING TRAINING NOFO (FY2025) CHARTS A-G, CHART A SUPPLEMENT (EXCEL), AND
CHART F (EXCEL)
Burden Statement: Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 142 hours per response, including
the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and
reviewing the collection of information. Comments regarding the accuracy of this burden estimate and any suggestions for reducing this
burden can be sent to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Office of the Chief Data Officer, R, 451 7th St SW, Room
4176, Washington, DC 20410-5000 or email: PaperworkReductionActOffice@hud.gov. The information is being collected for a housing
counseling agency to participate in HUD’s Housing Counseling program and is required to obtain or retain benefits. No confidentiality is
assured. The information will be used by HUD to ensure that Counselors provide guidance and advice to help families and individuals
improve their housing conditions and meet the responsibilities of tenancy and homeownership. Counselors also help borrowers avoid
predatory lending practices, such as inflated appraisals, unreasonably high interest rates, unaffordable repayment terms, and other
conditions that can result in a loss of equity, increased debt, default, and foreclosure. This agency may not collect this information, and
you are not required to complete this form, unless it displays a valid OMB control number.
I/We, the undersigned, certify under penalty of perjury that the information provided above is true, accurate, and correct.
WARNING: Anyone who knowingly submits a false claim or makes a false statement is subject to criminal and/or civil penalties,
including confinement for up to 5 years, fines, and civil and administrative penalties. (18 U.S.C. §§ 287, 1001, 1010, 1012, 1014; 31
U.S.C. § 3729, 3802).
