Content and Form of Application Submission

Uniform Application for State Grant Assistance

The Uniform Application for State Grant Assistance is a three-page document used to formalize organization's request to apply for funding. The document requires the signature and email address of the organization's authorized representative.

Applicants must apply for each location they are serving. A Suffix will need to be used when submitting your budget (under "NOFO Suffix" in CSA). Details about this can be found under Budget Requirements below. A separate application must be submitted for each location. The locations and suffixes are as follows:

Location 1: 1WC (The Bryn Mawr Apartments, 5550 N. Kenmore, Chicago, IL 60640, Williams Services)
Location 2: 2WC (Crandon Avenue Apartment, 7308 S. Crandon Avenue #207, Chicago, IL 60649, Williams Services)
Location 3: 3WC (The Studios, 1801 S Wabash Ave Chicago, IL 60616, Williams Services)
Location 4: 4WC (Warren Apartments, 1533 W Warren Blvd Chicago, IL 60607, Williams Services)
Location 5: 5CC (The Kilpatrick Renaissance, 4655 W Berteau Ave, Chicago, IL 60641, Colbert Services)
Location 6: 6CC (Renaissance St. Luke, 1501 W Belmont Ave, Chicago, IL 60657, Colbert Services)

For example, if an applicant applies for funding for Location 1 and Location 5, two applications and two narratives must be submitted, one associated with each location for the program.

Page 1 of the applications are pre-populated with the appropriate suffix code. Applicants do not need to complete anything on Page 1.

On Page 3, applicants will need to include only the amount, for which they are applying, for the specific location on each individual application.
