We are still awaiting the revised Sample Code from HUD. HUD has announced that they have extended the LSA submission deadline date further and will announce a new submission date when they are ready. HUD anticipates the new deadline to be in early May. HUD does not anticipate that the HIC/PIT or SPM deadlines will change. HUD is keenly aware of CoC's concerns with respect to the LSA timeline as it relates to the CoC Competition, and they are taking into consideration the unexpected delays and upload issues.
For those that have reported errors that are resolved by this update we recommend sending a new file to Abt/HUD to receive an updated flag file. Abt recommends that our customers continue to review the non-vendor errors/warnings in their flag files to determine what fixes, if any, are needed and then resubmit the file to get the errors cleared. Abt does not recommend that customers wait for vendors to make their changes before fixing any non-vendor errors/warnings.
Please create a case in the Customer Community if you have further questions.
