The July 31, 2002 HOPE VI NOFA provided an application due date of November 29, 2002. Because November 29, 2002, falls on the Friday after the Thanksgiving holiday, HUD is extending the application due date under the July 31, 2002 HOPE VI NOFA for one week. Grant applications under the July 31, 2002 HOPE VI NOFA are now due to HUD Headquarters on or before 5:15 p.m., Eastern Time, on Friday, December 6, 2002. Except for this change in the application due date, all other requirements of the July 31, 2002 HOPE VI NOFA remain unchanged.
