SUMMARY: On July 13, 2009, HUD posted 

its FY2009 SHOP NOFA on the

NOFA makes $26.5 million in assistance 

to national and regional nonprofit 

organizations and consortia which 

facilitate and encourage innovative 

homeownership opportunities for lowincome 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.
