Eligibility: Information on Eligible ApplicantsOnly PHAs that have an existing Annual Contributions Contract (ACC) with HUD for HCVs are eligible to apply for funding under this NOFO.PHAs wishing to share the administration of the program with another PHA may apply jointly, however, the Annual Contributions Contract (ACC) will be solely with the lead PHA applicant and all reporting must be submitted by the lead PHA applicant. The maximum number of vouchers will be based on the lead NOFO PHA's voucher program size (i.e., no more than the number of vouchers the same PHA would be eligible to apply for if it had only one PHA code number).Eligible PHAs must have demonstrated a commitment to administer FYI Competitive vouchers, which shall be verified by an executed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the PHA and PCWA. HUD strongly encourages adding other important partners, such as a State or local government, non-profit, philanthropic or faith-based organizations, and CoCs, or a CoC recipient it designates, to the partnership. The MOU must also identify the assistance being provided and state who will be providing such assistance.HUD will only consider funding one application per PHA. This one application limit applies regardless of whether the PHA is a State or regional PHA. In instances where a PHA has more than one PHA code number due to its operating under the jurisdiction of more than one HUD Field Office, a separate application, under each code, shall be considered for funding with the cumulative total of vouchers applied for under the applications not to exceed the maximum number of vouchers the PHA is eligible to apply for under this NOFO (i.e., no more than the number of vouchers the same PHA would be eligible to apply for if it had only one PHA code number). Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations are not eligible to compete for, or receive, awards made under this announcement.
