CloseDateExplanation: PLEASE NOTE:  The due date of final HUD approval for FY 2014 GIW changes is   September 22, 2014 by 5:00 p.m., local time of the applicant.  Collaborative Applicants will be required to attach the final HUD-approved FY 2014 GIW that contains the final FY 2014 ARD to the CoC Priority Listing.  HUD will not consider any changes that would increase a CoCs ARD to the FY 2014 GIW following the   7-day grace period.  However, if an ineligible project is included on the CoCs GIW HUD will reduce the CoCs ARD by an amount equal to the amount of the ineligible award amount.
