New Electronic 2530 Form Required for APPS

The new HUD Form 2530, Previous Participation Certification, was posted to HUD Clips on March 6, 2013. The new fillable PDF version should be used and shows an expiration date of February 29, 2016. There is a fillable MS Word version on HUD Clips, however, it is not correct and should not be used. The MS Word version should disappear shortly.

Changes include:

• Schedule A requires listing previous projects for only the past 10 years
• Alphabetizing the list of principals is no longer required; all principals must be listed in the signature block
• A signature authority document must be attached for principals who sign on behalf of an organization

There are some issues with the new form that HUD promises to fix soon:

• The Reason for Submission box isn’t working, so you will need to hand write this in
• Do remember to include your city and state in Column 2 of Schedule A.  The form is missing a space for this information.
