Update: HUD Invites Review Requests from Applicants with Grants.gov Problems, Deadline September 5 or 15 Days after NOFA Deadline. Because some applicants for HUD assistance in 2008 have reported technical difficulties in applying electronically through grants.gov, HUD is now conducting a Quality Assurance Review (QAR). HUD wants to identify applicants that correctly followed all electronic application submission instructions, including registration for electronic submission, but were unable to submit an application because of technical problems related to the use of the Adobe Acrobat forms and Grants.gov error messages.
Applicants that had difficulties submitting an electronic application for a NOFA for which the deadline has passed may submit a request for QAR by September 5, 2008. Applicants having difficulties responding to a NOFA for which the deadline date has not passed may submit a request for QAR during the 15 days after the deadline date. For details, see the August 21Federal Register notice.
Update: Continuum of Care NOFA Details Published August 13, Deadline September 26. A noticepublished in the Federal Register on August 13 makes technical corrections in the Continuum of Care NOFA published on July 10 and establishes September 26 as the application deadline.
