Notice of Funding Availability for Fiscal Year (FY) 2009; Self-
Help Homeownership Opportunity Program (SHOP); Clarifications and 
Technical Corrections

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and 
Development, HUD.

ACTION: Notice of corrections and clarifications.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On July 13, 2009, HUD posted its FY2009 SHOP NOFA on the 
Grants.gov website. The FY2009 SHOP NOFA makes $26.5 million in 
assistance to national and regional nonprofit organizations and 
consortia which facilitate and encourage innovative homeownership 
opportunities for low-income individuals and families. Through this 
document, HUD announces that it has posted a notice that corrects and 
clarifies a number of provisions in the FY2009 SHOP NOFA posted on July 
13, 2009. Specifically, the notice: (1) Clarifies the requirement for 
applicants to reduce energy costs, (2) clarifies the requirement for 
font size; (3) clarifies the requirement that the page limit is four 
pages for rating factor 2, and (4) corrects a posting error that 
resulted in the Tables 1 and 2 being misprinted in the posted document. 
The notice making these corrections is available on Grants.gov Web site 
http://apply07.grants.gov/apply/forms_apps_idx.html. A link to 
Grants.gov is also available on the HUD Web site at http://www.hud.gov/offices/adm/grants/fundsavail.cfm.
    To permit applicants time to prepare applications that take into 
account these changes, HUD is extending the application submission 
deadline for the FY2009 SHOP NOFA until September 28, 2009.
