Application Submission Instructions and Core Application Status

Please be aware of several changes in the application submission process this year:

1. Only electronic applications will be accepted this year - no paper applications.

2. The core application must be submitted in both

the original Excel format as well as in PDF format.

3. A backup flash drive is required, not just recommended.

Please review these and further details after downloading the 2016 Application Instructions.

All applicants must use a May 2016 Revision of the core application. However, applicants wishing to claim points under any of the following Scoring sections:

Section 8-B: Revitalization/Redevelopment Plans Local Govt Adopted Revitalization Plan D: Concerted Revitalization Efforts Multiplier

Section 17-A: Integrated Supportive Housing / Section 811 Rental Assistance

Section 19: Preservation Priority

Section 20: Quality Education Areas

Section 21: Workforce Housing

must either download a current blank Core Application (May v6) from the 2016 Funding Round web page or email their existing core application to

Stephen.Barrett@dca.ga.gov

for correction. In either case, such core apps will then have the words "May 2016 Revision v6" displayed at the top of both the Scoring tab as well as the Project Information tab for verification.
