Additional Information on Eligibility: This Notice is intended to achieve three goals: (1) to provide CoC applicants with an outline of the functions and requirements of the annual registration in e-snaps; (2) to provide CoC applicants and project applicants with the major changes that HUD will make under the CoC Competition Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for FY2011; and (3) to familiarize CoC applicants and project applicants with HUDs plan to implement the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, as amended by the Homeless Emergency and Rapid Transition to Housing (HEARTH) Act. Each CoC applicant must complete and submit its registration in e-snaps. Registration in e-snaps allows: (1) CoC applicants to validate their CoC and merger status and corresponding geographic jurisdiction; (2) HUD to apportion Preliminary Pro Rata Need (PPRN) dollars associated with the CoCs geographic jurisdiction; (3) CoCs to inventory grants requiring renewal funding in the FY2011 Competition and record their Hold Harmless Need amount; (4) HUD to compute the CoCs Final Pro Rata Need (FPRN) amount for the FY2011 Competition; and (5) CoC applicants to confirm their intent to submit an application in the FY2011 Competition.
Grant Description: This Notice is divided into five sections. Section I provides background information on the implementation of the McKinney-Vento Act, as amended by the HEARTH Act, and an overview of the Continuum of Care (CoC) planning process. Section II contains key terms used throughout this Notice and the registration process. Section III provides detailed information on completing the CoC registration process in e-snaps, including steps to renew/update an existing registration. Section IV provides information about the major changes that HUD will adopt for the FY2011 CoC Homeless Assistance Competition. This should assist CoC applicants to better plan for the development of their FY2011 application. Section V provides a list of registration resources to help CoC applicants successfully complete the registration process and to prepare for submission.
