The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) offers a variety of grants to groups and organizations. Before applying for any HUD grants, an applicant must complete the proper registration process. Once that is done, the applicant may apply for an unlimited number of grants and won't have to renew registration for one full year.
Instructions
