CPMP User Manual Quick Links

This CPMP tool has been created using Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word. You'll need these applications in order to use the tool to create Consolidated Plan material submissions.

Picture of the files contained in the CPMP tool.
The tool is comprised of 19 different files and 7 folders. Take a deep breath and relax. You will not be working with more than a few files at any given time. Also, you don't need to sit down and complete any given part of the tool in one sitting. That would be nearly impossible. It would be easier to work one part at a time. When viewed through Windows Explorer the files that comprise the CPMP Tool should look like the one to the left.

These files are briefly described below for your reference and are more fully discussed in the subsequent sections of the user's manual. The image below also depicts the relationships of the documents used in the tool. Click on the image to find out about a specific file.
