What is a Logic Model?

The NOFA asks for a completed Program Outcome Logic Model as part of the application. A Logic Model is a form used to provide a clear outline of your proposed project. You can use it to summarize your goals, what your project will do, and what the results will be. In order to understand how the Logic Model should be filled out, first read HUD';s instructions carefully.

Helpful Hints

  • Complete the logic model after you have finished the narrative proposal
  • The logic model is an outline; use it to summarize your narrative
  • Make sure you include HUD Goals and Policy Priorities for each activity
  • Do not fill out the "Post" section in columns 4 and 6; if you receive a grant, you will fill these out as you complete your project
  • When describing Service or Activities (column 3), think in terms of numbers, like "100 people to receive counseling" or "10 homes built";
  • When describing Outcomes (column 5), think in terms of the program's impact, like"increasing affordable housing" or "reducing the amount of substandard housing"
  • For Evaluation Tools, start by thinking how you currently track the progress and outcomes of your existing programs. Keep in mind that HUD will hold you to your descriptions of how you will collect, process and maintain your data.
