|
|
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), in partnership with TDA and the Housing Assistance Council (HAC), is pleased to announce a Travel Scholarship Program to support attendance by CHDOs and prospective CHDOs at the CHDO Workshops on the 2013 HOME Final Rule being held this summer. Scholarships are available for workshops taking place during or after the week of June 16, 2014.
Who Can Apply?
To ensure that CHDOs with budgetary limitations are able to attend the workshops, travel scholarships are available to CHDOs located more than 50 miles from the workshop location. Subject to program limitations, CHDOs can request scholarship assistance to cover eligible transportation and lodging costs with a maximum award of $1,500 per attendee ($2,000 for CHDOs located outside of the continental United States).
A limited number of scholarships are available at each workshop based on HUD’s evaluation of the general proximity of workshops to rural and underserved Participating Jurisdictions.

- Submit a Request to Register and attend one of the CHDO Workshops via the CHDO Workshops Course Page.
