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.

2011 Continuum of Care NOFA Applicants:

Availability) on Tuesday, August 30.  HUD provided links to and
strongly encourages all applicants and project sponsors to
read the
2011 CoC NOFA in its entirety, to view the 2011 CoC
NOFA webcast, review the training modules on HUD HRE, the
HUD guidance, and FAQ’s on the HRE
CoC Grant Application
Materials page.



ALLIANCE APPLICATION FORMS:

In addition to completing the HUD forms and attachments in e-
snaps, applicants must complete an Alliance application form.  
By the deadline, applicants will email
nofa@suburbancook.org
with their Alliance application, a PDF of the HUD application
(Exhibit 2), and other attachments as listed on the instructions
on the last page of the Alliance application form.



Please read and follow the instructions on the last page of
these forms.  


  • The DEADLINE for new and renewal project  
    applications is Tuesday, October 4, 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 10/4, 5pm deadline.

  • After review by the Project Review Committee, projects
    recommended for funding will be voted on by the Alliance
    board at  its October 21st meeting.  The HUD deadline is
    October 28, 2011.  Here’s a copy of the Alliance 2011
    Timeline.  The Project Review Committee’s scoring criteria
    are detailed in the 2011 Final Ranking Forms (one for
    New and one for Renewals).

  • 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.

  • 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
