How To Apply

The Department has published Super NOFA Application Revised June 30, 2022 with critical items necessary to update. The previous version of the application (dated June 10, 2022) will not be accepted unless repaired by the Department. To prevent the need for applicant data re-entry, the Department will make the formula corrections directly to your in-process application. The in-process application submitted to the Department for correction must be the June 10, 2022 version.

All applicants who have begun to complete their application must either submit the Super NOFA Excel application document for a 24-hour repair process or complete the Super NOFA Application Revised June 30, 2022. To submit for corrections, email any in-process Super NOFA Excel application to SuperNOFA@hcd.ca.gov using a subject line “Application Update.” The application will be returned within 24 hours of receipt. Applicants are required to submit either a corrected June 10, 2022 version or the Application Revised June 30, 2022, with all supporting documentation by the application due date via the Super NOFA Application Portal (SNAP).
