Does HUD have your
Code of Conduct on
file?

HUD requires your agency
to have a Code of Conduct
on file with them.

If you submitted a copy
with your application last
year, confirm that it is on
file with HUD.  If so, you
will NOT need to submit
another copy this year,
UNLESS your policy has
changed.  If your agency is
NOT on the list, you must
submit the document
again.

Look up your Code of
Conduct at HUD.gov.
What is your D-U-N-S
number?

If you've applied for
grants before, you
probably already have a
DUNS number.  If not,
register online.
