Brownfields Economic Development Initiative (BEDI)
The maximum amount of a BEDI award under this competition is $2 million per project.
An application in excess of $2 million will be reduced to the extent HUD determines that such a reduction is appropriate and the project remains feasible.
BEDI funds are used to enhance
the security of a loan guaranteed by HUD under Section 108 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, for the same brownfields economic development project, or to improve the viability of a brownfields economic development project financed with the Section 108-guaranteed loan, in order to stimulate economic development by local governments and private sector parties at brownfields sites and to return those sites to productive economic use.
All BEDI grants must be used in conjunction with a new Section 108-guaranteed loan commitment.
