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

SUMMARY: On July 15, 2020, HUD published a notice (``Notice'') 
implementing the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) mobility demonstration 
(``demonstration'') authorized by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 
2019. Through this Notice, HUD is making available up to $50,000,000 to 
participating PHAs throughout the country to implement housing mobility 
programs by offering mobility-related services to increase the number 
of voucher families with children living in opportunity areas. The 
Notice established October 13, 2020 as the deadline date for submission 
of PHA applications. Today's Federal Register publication extends the 
deadline date for the submission of applications to December 14, 2020.

DATES: The new application deadline date for the HCV Mobility 
Demonstration Program is December 14, 2020.

encourages submission of questions about the demonstration be sent to 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 15, 2020 (85 FR 42890), HUD 
published its Notice implementing the HCV Mobility Demonstration, and 
established October 13, 2020 as the deadline date for the submission of 
applications. Through the Notice, HUD is making available approximately 
$50 million for grants to Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) under a 
demonstration program authorized by statute.
    Today's Federal Register publication extends the deadline date for 
the submission of applications for the HCV Mobility Demonstration 
program to December 14, 2020. HUD is extending the application 
submission deadline date to ensure that delays or complications due to 
the COVID-19 Coronavirus do not cause undue hardship or otherwise 
prevent applicants from submitting complete applications.

Deadline for Applications

    The lead agency shall be responsible for submitting the application 
to HUD, no later than December 14, 2020. Applications that are 
submitted after midnight on December 14, 2020, or which fail to include 
the required elements, will be ineligible for consideration by HUD.
    HUD may extend the application deadline for any program if HUD.gov 
systems are offline or not available to applicants for at least 24 
hours immediately prior to the deadline date, or if the system is down 
for 24 hours or longer and that impacts the ability of applicants to 
cure a submission deficiency within the grace period. HUD may also 
extend the application deadline upon request if there is a 
presidentially-declared disaster in the applicant's area. If these 
events occur, HUD will post a notice on its website establishing the 
new, extended deadline for the affected applicants.

R. Hunter Kurtz,
Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.
