Hi SSVF Program Managers and Team,
It is very, very important that you read through this email. As discussed on our Super Region call last week, grantees are responsible for managing deadlines and for reaching out proactively before deadlines. We cannot follow up individually; we need you to reach out to us. If a deadline is missed, there will be no exceptions; you will forfeit your opportunity. Lastly, I know that most of our team is really strong with deadlines, and I really appreciate your help. Therefore, please use this email as a refresher; there is no need to respond unless you have questions.
I need you to do 3 things for me.
2. Share this information with your finance staff. (Email it to them and follow up verbally)
3. Meet the deadlines as they pertain to your grant(s).
Monday 8/31
· Request for an Extension
o Grantees that requested an extension through the online survey should have received a requirement in GIFTs.
o This requirement must be completed by 8/31.
§ If you need an extension but do not see the requirement, email me today with your grant number.
o Please note that the extension is for 60 days. This is different than past years where we allowed 90 days. Please keep this timeline in mind as you prepare your final budget modifications.
Tuesday 9/1
· Last Program Change Request
o The last request is due by 9/1 close of business. Late or incomplete submissions will not be accepted.
o This process was reviewed on our Super Region call last week. These are still emailed (see Guide) with me cc'd to your request.
o If you have questions, ask now.
o Please refer to the Companion Guide for Program Changes for more information https://www.va.gov/HOMELESS/ssvf/docs/Companion_Guide_to_Program_Changes_FY2015.pdf
Upcoming
· Community Plan Submissions are due on 9/15 (deadline was extended from 9/1 to 9/15)
I really appreciate your hard work.
Have a great weekend!
Adrienne
