2024 State Unified RFP Grant Submission Deadline Extention Notice ! 

We thank you for your continued patience throughout the 2024 State Unified RFP submission process. We understand the importance of ensuring that your proposal is thoroughly prepared and comprehensive, and we want to provide you with adequate time to finalize all the necessary details.

Given the technical issues with the RFP Application, we are extending the submission deadline to Tuesday, June 11, 2024, at 5:00 PM CST.

Completed Requests for Proposals and documentation must be submitted at https://forms.gle/hXJzx4ucNG5L.... We apologize for any setbacks and will continue to resolve technical issues as they arise. Given the current status, we do not anticipate further extending the deadline.

For applicants that have no yet started the State RFP submission process, we encourage you to begin this process as soon as possible to ensure that you can meet the new submission deadline. Last-minute submission attempts may result in delays and issues and the CoC Lead does not anticipate granting special extensions. Please ensure to allow yourself enough time to review and submit the application and address issues that arise.
