This email is to inform you that the Department of Housing & Community Development NOFA Presubmission meeting for December 2024 has been canceled. We will resume the monthly Developer NOFA Presubmission meetings in January 2025.

Happy Holidays! We look forward to seeing you in January.

The Department’s development division administers the Standing Notice of Funds Availability (NOFA) to promote the development of mixed-income, affordable, attainable, and equitable housing opportunities throughout the City. The NOFA provides increased flexibility to the developer community to access gap financing through available funding sources. Developers may submit applications for affordable rental, for-sale, and housing for persons experiencing homelessness at any given time of the year. As applications are received, they are evaluated by staff, underwritten by a third party, and if recommended for funding, projects are submitted for City Council approval.

To provide ongoing technical assistance and community engagement with the developer community, including minority developers, a virtual meeting is held every 4th Tuesday of each month from 2-4 p.m. The meeting format is held live via Microsoft Teams with Housing staff. This forum provides one-on-one interaction along with a step-by-step explanation of the NOFA application process, scoring rubric, funding sources, eligible expenditures, and City processes.

For specific questions contact HousingNOFA@dallas.gov

If developers are unable to attend, a pre-recording of the meeting is available on the Housing & Community Development Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) to be viewed at their leisure along with staff contact information, should there be any questions.
