How can I prepare to submit my application?
Preparing early can make the application process smoother. We encourage you to review the Applicant Checklist and take advantage of both Information Sessions and Support with technical assistance options:
🗓️ Information Sessions
These sessions are designed to help you understand eligibility, required documents, and what to expect during the application process.
Prepare for PROMISE sessions (virtual): Hosted by Neighborhood Development Center
Tax information sessions to help applicants understand documentation needs
Community events hosted in partnership with Community Partners
🤝 Support Sessions
📄 Document Labs (anyone attending an info session can register)
These small group labs offer hands-on support with your required documents.
Only available to attendees of a Prepare for PROMISE session.
Labs are offered before the Round 2 application window opens.
Space is limited and participation is on a first-come, first-served basis.
🧾 Application Labs (open to all applicants who apply for Round 2 and proceed to Stage 2 of the application)
These labs provide one-on-one in-person help with submitting your application.
Labs are offered after the application window opens.
