Will only the location-based scoring criteria, such as Significant Share of Affordable Units in County and PolicyMap Data, be assessed at the pre-application stage, or will the Permanent Below-Market Sources scoring category also be evaluated at that stage?

For new construction projects, the only scoring criteria required for the pre-application will be PolicyMap data. Those scores submitted at pre-application will carry forward to the full application. For existing supply projects, a Physical Capital Needs Assessment (PCNA) and a copy of the existing project-based rental assistance agreement that identifies the number of units covered by the contract, along with the most recent renewal (if applicable). Proposed rental assistance contracts do not qualify.
 

Permanent below market sources will be scored at the full application stage.
