- What it does
- Choice Neighborhoods Planning Grants support the development of comprehensive neighborhood Transformation Plans which are centered on the revitalization of a severely distressed public housing or HUD-assisted housing project. The Transformation Plan should integrate effective strategies for redevelopment of the targeted public and/or assisted housing project; the provision of supportive services for housing residents which address employment, health and educational opportunities; and initiatives which improve the range of neighborhood assets and promote economic development. The Transformation Plan should be created as part of a collaborative planning process that involves neighborhood stakeholders, local governmental entities and residents, and builds the necessary support to successfully implement the plan.
- Who benefits
- For Choice Neighborhoods Planning Grants, the ultimate beneficiaries are the residents of the target neighborhood, including those of the severely distressed public and/or assisted housing development. Cities or other municipalities also benefit from the creation of neighborhood plans that will help revitalize low-income and under-served communities.

How to read these numbers
- Committed through this program
Money committed under this assistance listing (its CFDA program), counted in the year each action happened.
- How it's paid
Most programs pay out one way — a grant, or a direct payment to individuals; the flow bar only appears when a program genuinely mixes types.
- Some recipients aren't itemized
For entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, the government reports one aggregate instead of naming tens of millions of people, so the recipient roster isn't part of the public record.
- Awards, counted once
An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
- The colored bars
Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
