Application for technical assistance
funds with which CPD grantees will engage providers to supply
expertise to shape their resources into effective, coordinated,
neighborhood and community development strategies to revitalize and
physically, socially and economically strengthen their
communities.
This emergency
processing is requested due to the implementation of the new
Tranformation Initiative (TI) at HUD. HUD did not have
authorization to implement TI until passage of the FY 2010
appropropriations legislation. In compliance with the requirements
of 5 CFR 1320.13, the use of normal clearance procedures is
reasonably likely to prevent HUD from providing grant opportunities
to communities and projects serving America's most vulnerable
populations.
Implementation of the two new
forms, Experience Matrix, and Expertise Matrix, has significantly
reduced the burden on the applicants by reducing 15 pages of
experience and capacity to two or three pages.
