The Alliance to End Homelessness in Suburban Cook County
has established its local timeline of trainings and deadlines.
- An informational session, scheduled for Tuesday,
October 12, 1:30-4:00 pm, is mandatory for all new
Bonus or new Reallocation project applicants. Renewal
applicants do not need to attend. Location is YMCA
Network, 3801 W 127th St., Alsip.
- The DEADLINE for new and renewal project
applications is Monday, October 25, at 5:00 pm. Both
new and renewal projects will be submitted
electronically. Please read the instructions carefully,
complete your HUD application in e-snaps and your
Alliance application as described, and submit everything
in time for the 10/25, 5pm deadline.
- After review by the Project Review Committee, projects
recommended for funding will be voted on by the Alliance
board at a special session board meeting in early
November, to be scheduled. The HUD deadline is
November 18, 2010. Here’s a copy of the Alliance 2010
Timeline. The Project Review Committee’s scoring criteria
are detailed in the 2010 Final Ranking Forms (one for
New and one for Renewals).
- New Bonus Project requests cannot exceed $726,152
total. The term varies depending on the component type
(i.e., 2 or 3 years for SHP, 5 or 10 years for S+C). New
Reallocation Project requests can not exceed $60,000,
and they must be for a one-year term.
- Renewal projects must match the Grant Inventory
Worksheets. For SHP renewals, that means your budget
figures must match this SHP Grant Inventory Worksheet.
For S+C renewals, that means your application must
show the same units and sizes as the S+C Grant
Inventory Worksheet, and your actual dollar figure will
depend on the current Fair Market Rent.
- The e-snaps training modules are GREATLY improved this
year, and the Alliance encourages all new and renewal
projects to make use of these training modules.
- It is also critical for ALL applicants be signed up for HUD’s
homeless assistance listserv, as many important NOFA
announcements get released through this list. Join
here: HUDHRE.info -- Join a Listserv
