REMINDER: SSVF Program
Change Request Available May 1, 2023 - June 1, 2023
This SSVF Program Change
request is being published by the SSVF Program Office from May 1- June 1,
2023. This will allow grantees to align their FY23 approved budgets to
the program concept and changes made while operating under their approved and
condensed FY22 and ARP budget cycles. In addition, grantees may request
anticipated changes for operating year FY24 (if awarded), as you may be using
FY23 funds for part of the first quarter of FY24.
All requests for
program changes must be submitted to the SSVF Program Office by the Grantee via
the UDPAAS grants management system. The Program Change request can be found in
the Grant management system (UDPaaS) under the
Request Activity Tab of your FY23 grant award. Grantees complete a standardized
form for the request and supportive documentation (if required). This Companion Guide provides an overview
of this process and submission deadlines, defines the various types of program
changes, and provides instructions for completing the online form. The guide
can also be found on the SSVF Website under the Grant Management section.
NOTE:
Grantees who submitted interim program change requests must now submit those
requests within the UDPaaS system to include the
approval emails.
All submissions must be
entered by June 1, 2023.
