GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Using the instructions contained in this document, respondent grantees may
submit a Grant Feedback Report (GF) to the United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in order to facilitate
communication, coordination, and technical assistance with their program
office. Each grantee may submit a GF containing updates on the progress in
producing grant-specific deliverables when compared to the milestones for
deliverables outlined in the grant award document as well as other response
information. The GF is an optional report which grantees may submit once
per 12 months. Please note these competitively awarded grants are also
referred to as discretionary grants in this document.
The instructions and performance reporting form for completing the GF can

legislation or related regulations occur, appropriate revisions will be issued
to reflect these changes.
The primary purposes of the Grant Feedback report (GF) are to:

2. Identify and mitigate potential threats to the overall success of the
discretionary grant;
3. Use the results to prioritize technical assistance for grantees and subgrantees; and
4. Enhance the responsiveness of the Department to grantees facing
challenges and obstacles.
