NOFAs to be released separately not as a SuperNOFA

Tentative release dates:
CoC will be released between May and June
Sections 202/811 between February and April

On December 29, 2008, Housing and Urban Development (HUD) released the General Section of the FY2009 NOFAs. Click here to read the full notice. As it has in prior years, this “notice provides prospective applicants for HUD’s competitive funding with the opportunity to become familiar with the General Section of HUD’s FY2009 NOFAs, in advance of publication of any FY2009 NOFAs.”

In a dramatic change, “HUD plans to publish its NOFAs as they are approved for publication and not in a combined SuperNOFA. HUD believes that by making this change, the NOFAs will be available earlier in the fiscal year. To assist applicants in this transformation, HUD is publishing the anticipated schedule for release of HUD’s FY2009 NOFAs in Appendix A.” Click here to review Appendix A.

HUD provided the following caveat “the information regarding NOFA programs and schedules is subject to the availability of appropriations. As HUD receives appropriations, HUD may elect to amend the anticipated dates, estimated funds available, and/or program requirements that may appear in the published NOFAs to reflect HUD’s FY2009 appropriations act, when enacted by Congress. Any amendment to HUD published NOFAs will be made available to the public through a Federal Register publication and published on Grants.gov.”

HUD encourages all applicants are urged to sign up for Grants.gov’s RSS Feed service to receive any changes to this General Section to HUD’s FY2009 NOFAs. Information about the RSS Feed Service can be found by clicking here. Detailed instructions on use of the RSS Feed can be found later in this General Section.

In FY2009, HUD is establishing standardized points for evaluating Logic Models submitted under Rating Factor 5, Achieving Results and Program Evaluation. The Logic Model is a tool that integrates program operations and program accountability. Full details are in the NOFA as well as in Appendix B.

For new applicants as well as renewal applicants it is important to review the 2009 Early Registration Notice by clicking here.

As more details are made available we will publish them.
