Department of Housing and Urban Development December 5, 2008 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This notice provides instructions to potential applicants applying for funding under HUD's Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 grant programs available through Grants.gov, including changes to the Grants.gov registration process scheduled for January 2009. This notice does not pertain to applicants who will be applying in FY2009 for Continuum of Care funds. HUD will publish a separate notice to address the receipt of Continuum of Care applications in FY2009. Today's Federal Register notice provides information to help applicants better understand the registration and electronic submission process for HUD applications made available through Grants.gov. Grants.gov is the federal portal for applicants to electronically find and apply for over 1,000 funding opportunities made available by 26 federal grant-making agencies. Grants.gov offers the applicant community a common Web site where applicants can apply for a variety of federal assistance programs. To date, all 26 Federal grant-making agencies have posted their funding opportunities and electronic application packages to Grants.gov. HUD believes that by facilitating a better understanding of the electronic submission process, applicants will be able to more easily make the transition to electronic application submission. HUD advises potential applicants to carefully read this notice and immediately begin the registration process or renew their registration from prior years.
