Since 2005, HUD has required that applicants for HUD’s discretionary funding submit their applications electronically through Grants.gov, unless the applicant previously received a waiver of this requirement. Since July 2, 2008, however, applicants for HUD assistance have indicated that they have encountered technical difficulties in their electronic application submissions. Today’s notice announces that HUD is taking action to respond to these concerns and is conducting a Quality Assurance Review (QAR) to identify applicants that correctly followed all electronic application submission instructions, including registration for electronic submission, but were unable to submit an application because of technical problems related to the use of the Adobe Acrobat forms and Grants.gov error messages.
