ONAP’s two busiest times for reviewing IHPs begins July 18 and on October 18th, both 75 days prior to the beginning of the program fiscal year of October 1 and January 1.
By statue and regulation, ONAP has 60 days to review and get back to you about any issues you may have about your IHP.
In fiscal year 2019, all tribes/ TDHEs are required to use the new EPIC system to file their IHP. Please call your assigned Grants Management Specialist if you are having problems accessing HUD’s EPIC system so that it can be addressed well before the due date.
