11-Application Submittal Certification.docx

This is an Application Submittal Certification form issued by the City of Detroit's Department of Housing and Community Development, located at the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center. The certification is required for organizations submitting applications for the 2026-2027 Community Development Block Grant/Neighborhood Opportunity Fund (CDBG/NOF) program, a U.S. HUD-funded initiative administered by the City of Detroit. The form serves as a binding declaration that applicants have thoroughly reviewed all qualifications and requirements outlined in the application materials and related Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA), and that all submitted information is accurate and current. Applicants must obtain signatures from both the Board Chair or President and the Executive Director, along with printed names and submission dates, to certify their compliance and commitment to adhere to all terms, conditions, and regulatory guidelines established in the NOFA.

The certification does not specify pricing terms, funding amounts, or contract duration, as it functions as a procedural verification document rather than a substantive solicitation instrument. The form emphasizes applicant accountability and confirms that organizations understand their obligations to comply with the CDBG/NOF program requirements and all applicable municipal regulations. This certification is a prerequisite component of the application package for community organizations and other entities seeking CDBG/NOF funding for public service projects within the City of Detroit.
