Third Round Urban Promise Zones Application
This is the intake platform for third round applications for designation as an Urban Promise Zone.
Paperwork Reduction Act Burden: According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to respond to a
collection of information unless such collection displays a valid OMB control number. The total time required to complete this
application is estimated to average sixty-two (62) hours, including the time to review instructions, gather the data needed, and
complete and review the application. If you have any comments concerning the accuracy of the time estimate(s) or suggestions for
improving this form, please write to: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Office of Departmental Grants

All applications must be received by the application due date at 5:00 PM EST.
Submission and Verification:
Applicants must click the “submit” button at the end of the survey for the application to be considered. An application is considered
submitted only when the upload is complete and the application is date and time stamped by the Max.gov system. If you do not
receive a confirmation of submission by email from Max.gov, your application was not received and will not be considered.
Please note that busy servers, slow processing or upload issues due to large file sizes are not valid reasons for extensions, and only
applications received via Max.gov by the application due date, at 5:00 PM EST, will be considered. For this reason, applicants are
strongly advised to submit at least 24 hours in advance of the due date.
After a submission, Max.gov provides an opportunity to download a copy of submitted information in addition to providing an email
confirmation of submission. The downloadable copy of submitted information contains all text that has been inputed into the survey
and a list of filenames attached to the submission. Please verify that the file names attached to the survey are the correct files.
Receipt of a confirmation email from Max.gov does not indicate that the application contains all of the required information, only that
information has been input to the survey and/or files have been attached, and such information and files have been received.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to review the application guide prior to clicking the “submit” button at the end of the survey, in
order to check that they have included all required information.
If you have any questions about this application or the Promise Zones initiative generally, please email [email protected].
