Consolidating Eligible Renewals During the CoC Program Competition

To be eligible for consolidation, renewal projects must meet all three of the conditions below:

• The grant period must expire in Calendar Year (CY) 2020 (between January 1, 2020 and December 30 2020).
• The projects must have the same recipient.
• The projects must have the same component and project type (i.e., PH-PSH, PH-RRH, Joint TH/PH-RRH, TH, SSO, SSO-CE or HMIS).

A project applicant must submit multiple project applications for each consolidation. Applicants need one application for each of the individual project PLUS one additional  application that combines the information from all the individual applications on every screen.

Submitting one project application for each individual project ensures that the individual projects are reviewed and potentially awarded funds should HUD not approve the requested consolidation project application.

Each renewal project application has a "Renewal Grant Consolidation Screen." "Individual" project applications are for the existing projects, and the "Fully Consolidated" project application combines the information from each applicable project application.

The grant end date is estimated by combining the total grant funds and manually calculating the average monthly spending amount. The estimated grant end date is not necessarily the end date for the grant that will end after the other consolidated grants.

The Estimating the End Date for a Consolidated Grant Excel workbook under Resources below assists project applicants in determining an estimated end date for the FY 2019 consolidated grant. The workbook is intended to be downloaded and edited by project applicants.

The actual end date will be determined during the selection and post-award process by HUD if the consolidated grant is selected.
