Treasury Issues Second Round Hardest Hit Application Guidance; One Substantive Addition to Information Required, and a June 1st Application Deadline

Treasury guidance is HERE as MS Word doc.

Only significant difference I see from guidance provided to first round applicants is a new addition found on page 4 [Section Two "d"], which requires some additional targeting information at the COUNTY or MUNICIPAL level (NOT the Census Tract level):

d. Localization to help areas with concentrated economic distress – The HFA should provide detailed information about how the program will target counties or municipalities with high concentrations of economic distress. The HFA should identify those local areas to receive a substantial majority of the program funds, and should provide (to the extent available) statistics on unemployment or other metrics of economic distress in these areas.
