HOPWA Competitive Application Process

Every January, MOHS announces the release of a Consolidated Funding Application for the upcoming City Fiscal Year where new and renewing HOPWA applicants can submit project proposals for funding. Projects are selected based on relevance to the assessed community needs, established priorities, and availability of funding.

Prior to awarding any agency, MOHS will verify compliance and eligibility with each of the following items below:

• A Non-Profit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt or another city agency
• In good standing with the State of Maryland (certificate of Good Standing can be obtained through the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation)
• Must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and have an active DUNS number
• Must have two years of the most recent A-133 financial audits (renewal projects that do not have audits may submit two most recent years of accountant-prepared financial statements)
