What is the GIW?
Each year, the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) releases the GIW,
which includes:
- An inventory of all CoC-funded projects in a
CoC that are eligible for renewal
- Details about the current contracts (budget
amounts, unit configuration, etc.)
- Solicitation of information about the proposed
contract for the upcoming fiscal year

GIW’s Relationship to the
CoC Program Competition
• It is the first official step in the CoC Program Competition
• Used to calculate the ARD, which is the amount for
which a CoC is allowed to apply
• Projects omitted from the GIW are not allowed to apply
for renewal funding by the Chicago CoC
• Closely followed by the Competition Registration Notice
and Notice of Funding Availability

FY2015 GIW Confirmation Process
• Each year, CoCs are required to verify that the GIW
includes ALL projects that are eligible for renewal and that
the contract information is accurate
• Agencies are required to review and verify that all their
CoC-funded projects are included fully and accurately in
the GIW
• A FY2015 GIW Confirmation survey must be completed by
agencies for each CoC-funded project no later than 5PM
on Thursday, February 12, 2015.
• Projects not included on the GIW are not allowed to
apply for renewal funding by the Chicago CoC

Project Change Options for FY2015
There are two primary options for changes for the
FY2015 GIW confirmation process:
1. Converting from Leasing to
Rental Assistance
2. Program Component Changes
** GIW Confirmation Survey is Due at 5PM on Thursday, February 12, 2015 **
Converting from Leasing to
Rental Assistance
Projects that are renewing for the first time under the
CoC Program can transition from Leasing to Rental Assistance.
PLEASE NOTE: This does NOT apply to most of the Chicago CoC projects. If you wish
to convert and feel your project is eligible, please contact
CoCPrograms@allchicago.org immediately to receive further guidance.

Program Component Changes
There are only two scenarios where a project that is categorized
incorrectly may have the component changed, including:
1. Projects with a Supportive Service line item and no housing (Rental
Assistance or Leasing) costs (see page 6 of the Instruction Manual for
details) https://www.hudexchange.info/resources/documents/FY%202015%20CoC%20GIW%20Instructions.pdf
2. Transitional Housing (TH) Renewal Projects that currently have
characteristics of Rapid Re-Housing project (see page 7 of the
Instruction Manual for details)
If your agency wishes to pursue a component change, please contact
CoCPrograms@allchicago.org immediately for further guidance.
