ESG-CV Funding Extension Clarification
In the May 5 issue of the OCD Digest, OCD shared HUD's announced extensions for the ESG-CV completion dates. Please see below for additional information on those dates.
Recipients must expend all amounts awarded through their first and second allocations of ESG-CV funds by September 30, 2023.
- This is the date applicable to current ESG-CV grantees. Grantees are encouraged to submit requests for amendment for increased funding through that date, if needed. Grant Managers will begin processing amendments for date extensions. Grantees will need to sign an updated grant agreement.
Administration and HMIS funds necessary for ESG-CV closeout must be expended by December 31, 2023.
- This will apply to COHHIO and the state. All data collections and administrative costs must be expended during the grant period listed on your updated amendment.
If a recipient receives additional funds through reallocation, all of those funds must be expended by June 30, 2024.
- HUD has not yet reallocated ESG-CV funding to Ohio, and we do not know at this time if that will occur. Therefore, this date only applies to what may happen in the future. Should an agency receive reallocated funds from HUD, this date will be reflected in their grant agreement.

CHIP Program Limit Structure Change
The Ohio Department of Development’s Office of Community Development (OCD) is providing a project limit increase for all active program years for the Community Housing Impact and Preservation (CHIP) Program.
Due to the current economic state and rising costs of construction materials, OCD will be evaluating project limit increases annually verses by program year within each application. The published project limits will be for all active program years on the date the memo is issued, April 7, 2022.

Overview of Procurement Requirements for Federally Funded OCD Programs
OCD issued Program Policy 21-03 effective July 1, 2021. Changes to the policy can impact how grantees procure administrators for federally funded OCD Programs. An overview of the updates from OCD Program Policy 20-02 are as follows:
- Cooperative Purchasing section (added ORC 9.48 item);
- Interagency Agreement section (does not allow for non-competitive procurement of a Community Action Agency, Community Improvement Corporation, or Economic Development Corporation); and
- The Section 3 section (updated to reflect new HUD rule).
If you have questions regarding the policy, please contact your Program Representative.
