On April 11, 2006, HUD published its Supplement FY2006 SuperNOFA for HUD's Discretionary Programs, which contained the HOPE VI Revitalization Grants Program and HOPE VI Main Street Grant Program. Today HUD is republishing the supplement to the SuperNOFA, in its entirety, making clarifications and corrections. HUD is revising the application submission date for the HOPE VI Main Street Grant Program. The application submission date will be July 11, 2006. HUD is also republishing the Supplement due to incorrect formatting of various sections and a misstatement of the estimated date of award found in the HOPE VI Main Street Grant Program. This republication will facilitate applicant understanding of what needs to be included in their applications as well as avoid applicant confusion.
