EFSP Phase 29

Phase 29 Updates and Announcements
Current Phase 29 funded LROs should have received the first half of award monies. If your organization has not received the first half of your award it may be the result of an outstanding compliance exception. Please contact Pamela Wright immediately to find out the status of your funding.

Please request the 2nd half of your Phase 29 award ASAP as the spending cycle ends on 12/31/2011. This is done through the National Board website. The Local Board does not have LRO login and password information. Please contact the National Board directly to help recover lost passwords.

EFSP Phase 29 Manual
It is imperative that Phase 29 LROs familiarize themselves with the National Board manual as there was no orientation/training this ear. The manual can be found on the National Board website.

Rental/Mortgage Assistance
Rental/Mortgage Assistance funded LROs must complete the following steps for eligible EFSP rental/mortgage assistance:

1. Submit rental/mortgage assistance pre-approval form to Pamela Wright via email only. LROs may not use EFSP funds until this approval is granted.

2. Complete a rental/mortgage assistance verification form. Forms must be completed  electronically, except signature portions. Handwritten forms will not be accepted. No other versions of this form will be accepted.

3. Complete a rental/mortgage application. LROs may use this form or their own version as long as it captures the same information.
