General applications to the HTF are accepted twice a year, in spring and again in fall. In addition, HTF initiated a new, separate Homeownership process in spring 2007. Each funding cycle, or Round, requires applicants to submit project documentation in two stages. Only projects submitted to stage 1 will be allowed to progress to Stage 2, pending approval by the Resource Allocation Unit. Notification of funding awards will be posted in June and December for the regular rounds, and in March for the Homeownership round. Please refer to the HTF Handbook for detailed information on how to apply.
