The Department of Housing and Urban Development offers Choice Neighborhoods Planning Grants to empower communities in creating comprehensive Transformation Plans. This grant facilitates the revitalization of distressed public and assisted housing, alongside the surrounding neighborhood, to foster positive outcomes for residents. The core objectives are threefold: transforming existing housing into energy-efficient, mixed-income, and financially viable units; supporting families through improved health, safety, employment, and educational opportunities; and converting high-poverty areas into mixed-income neighborhoods with enhanced access to essential services, quality schools, public transportation, and job opportunities. This initiative aims to guide holistic community redevelopment.

| Description: | Choice Neighborhoods Planning Grants will enable communities to create a comprehensive plan to transform public and/or assisted housing within a distressed neighborhood. To achieve the programs core goals, communities must develop and implement a comprehensive neighborhood revitalization strategy, or Transformation Plan. This Transformation Plan will become the guiding document for the revitalization of the public and/or assisted housing units, while simultaneously directing the transformation of the surrounding neighborhood and positive outcomes for families. The three core goals of the Choice Neighborhoods program are: 1. Housing: Transform distressed public and assisted housing into energy efficient, mixed-income housing that is physically and financially viable over the long-term; 2. People: Support positive outcomes for families who live in the target development(s) and the surrounding neighborhood, particularly outcomes related to residents health, safety, employment, mobility, and education; and 3. Neighborhood: Transform distressed, high-poverty neighborhoods into viable, mixed-income neighborhoods with access to well-functioning services, high quality public schools and education programs, high quality early learning programs and services, public assets, public transportation, and improved access to jobs. |
