Opportunity Information: Apply for FR 6700 N 29L
HUDRD - Exploring Office to Residential Conversions (HUDRD-EORC) is a discretionary research funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) focused on understanding how and why office buildings have been converted into housing since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Through this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), HUD is making up to $860,000 available to support a single, in-depth research effort that documents recent conversion activity and builds a foundation for future studies. The core idea is not simply to describe a few projects, but to generate usable knowledge about what is working, what is not, and what conditions or policy choices tend to make these conversions more feasible.
The funded project is expected to examine office-to-residential conversions from multiple angles that matter to practitioners and policymakers. That includes the policy landscape (for example, zoning and land-use rules, building code issues, permitting processes, and incentive programs), the practical construction and design challenges that come up when retrofitting office space into livable units, and the financing side of the equation (such as the financial tools and capital stacks being used, and how public and private resources are being combined). HUD also signals interest in broader policy interventions connected to conversions, meaning the research should help clarify how governments are attempting to respond to shifting office demand and housing needs, and what lessons are emerging from early post-pandemic conversion efforts.
A key requirement is that proposals clearly explain how the research will improve understanding of federal, state, or local policies and programs aimed at enabling or accelerating office-to-residential conversions. In other words, applicants need to show how their findings will inform real-world decision-making and contribute to general knowledge in a way that can support later research, evaluation, and policy development. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial involvement by HUD during the project, such as collaboration on deliverables, research direction, or dissemination, rather than a hands-off grant relationship.
This opportunity is cataloged under Assistance Listing (CFDA) number 14.536 and falls under the Housing activity category. Eligible applicants are broad and include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than universities), for-profit organizations (including entities other than small businesses), and small businesses. HUD originally posted the opportunity on July 21, 2023, with an application deadline of October 12, 2023, due by 11:59:59 PM Eastern Time. The funding opportunity number is FR 6700 N 29L, and HUD anticipates making one award, with an award ceiling of $860,000.Apply for FR 6700 N 29L
