Q. Will a first time renewal project that has not been contracted by HUD still need to be submitted through the renewal process?

Q: What type of funds can be used as Match?
Match resources may be from any federal, state, local or private source (excluding Continuum of Care Program funds) as long as the source of the funds is not statutorily prohibited from being used as match. (Note: the recipient is responsible for determining this.)
- Important: Other HUD funds (e.g., ESG, HOME and CDBG) may be used as match as long as they haven’t been committed as match to another project.
