What applicants must include: SAM registration, performance measures, locked budget spreadsheet and invoices

Franklin County Community Development · September 1, 2026

Summary

County staff outlined minimum application materials (alignment with consolidated plan goals, CDBG eligibility, HUD national objective, SAM.gov registration) and stressed required performance measures and locked budget spreadsheet; reimbursements require documented invoices and supporting records.

Armstrong reviewed minimum application requirements: proposals must align with the county consolidated plan goals, be a CDBG-eligible activity, meet a HUD national objective and include SAM.gov registration and all requested uploads. She said reviewers will score project need, implementation plans, sustainability, budget and administrative capacity.

The panel emphasized performance measures: applicants must submit project-specific measures (usually one to three) in UniGrants. Armstrong warned that UniGrants will not always produce an automatic error if measures are missing and urged applicants to remember to add them: "Remember those performance measures." On budgets, the county will require a locked spreadsheet upload (do not alter formulas) and will reimburse grantees upon receipt of properly documented invoices; Armstrong said the county aims to pay well-documented invoices within 30 days.
