OneCPD+ NOFA Rating Factors Factor 1: Organizational Capacity and Key Personnel Recent experience and performance, including 2 recent engagements Key personnel Factor 2: Soundness of approach Management Policy Priorities and Outcomes TA and Capacity Building Scenario Factor 3: Program Evaluation and Results Management 9

Q&A: Eligibility Can an organization apply as both an applicant and a subcontractor? Can a subcontractor be a subcontractor to more than one firm? Are state housing agencies or state mortgage agencies eligible to apply? 10

Q&A: Organizational Capacity and Key Personnel Are we limited to describing 25 key personnel? Can we include a matrix in a supplemental section that lists additional staff, subcontractors and consultants, and their experience? The NOFA indicates that we are to list individuals with who we have existing agreements. Do we need to include agreements or signature pages in the application? 11

Q&A: Organizational Capacity and Key Personnel Can an applicant specify which geographic area they would prefer to work in? Should an applicant specify which subject areas or programs they prefer to work on? 12

Q&A: Organizational Capacity and Key Personnel The NOFA indicates that awards tasked to provide technical assistance or capacity building to HOME and/or CHDO grantees must have at least one certified Home Program Specialist, who passed the Regulations Training exam with a score of 80 or higher. Are all applicants expected to list a certified HOME Specialist on the list of 25 key personnel? The NOFA says that we should describe two recent engagements conducting technical assistance and capacity building activities. Which type should we describe? 13

Q&A: Soundness of Approach (Budget) Does an application for this NOFA consist of a fully realized project/proposal with a budget of at least $750,000? Why should the budget only include stagnant or non-changing costs? 14

Q&A: Soundness of Approach (Budget) Can a fee or profit for applicants be included in the budget? The SF424 CBW was not required last year. If we only have to provide information on costs that don’t change (page 21), what should we complete in the SF424 CBW? 15

Q&A: Soundness of Approach (Scenario) Scenario 2 on page 18 of the NOFA provides numbers for the County’s Point-in-Time that do not add up correctly. Please clarify whether this is a typographical error. Can applicants respond to more than one scenario? 16
