Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a budget request and a budget justification?

The budget request is the formal request for a specific amount of funding, while the justification explains why that amount is needed. This form combines both, ensuring you provide the necessary narrative to support the dollar figure.

Can I use this form for HUD grant applications?

Yes, the form aligns with common HUD requirements, such as identifying the program area (e.g., Public Housing, CDBG) and including performance metrics. However, always check the specific NOFA for additional required formats.

How do I handle multiple funding sources in one request?

If you need multiple funding sources, fill out a separate form for each source to avoid mixing funds. This makes it easier to track compliance and reporting.
