Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2012 Opportunity to Register and Other Important Information for Electronic Application Submission (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5649 N 01) is a HUD Continuum of Care (CoC) Program registration notice that focuses on the steps and requirements communities must follow to register electronically for the FY 2012 CoC Program Competition. It is not a typical project funding announcement on its own, but a required, time-sensitive registration process that collaborative applicants must complete in order to be positioned to submit a full CoC application package later. The notice was posted on August 30, 2012, and the registration deadline (closing date) was October 1, 2012, with the archive date listed as October 3, 2012. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses an "Other" funding instrument type because the core action is registration rather than an immediate award action. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated in the notice.
The intended audience is the CoC "Collaborative Applicant" and other eligible parties as described in the notice, with eligibility essentially defined by the fact that this is a registration notice tied to participation in the CoC Program Competition. HUD frames the document as guidance for completing registration in e-snaps, HUDs online grants management system used for CoC submissions. A key practical takeaway is that collaborative applicants are expected to log in to e-snaps to access and complete the required registration forms, and to use the resources provided by HUD to avoid common submission problems that can derail eligibility or delay later application steps.
Structurally, the notice is organized into five sections, each aimed at helping collaborative applicants understand both the policy context and the mechanics of registration. Section I provides background on the implementation of the CoC Program and gives an overview of the CoC planning process, which is the local, coordinated approach communities use to assess homelessness needs, set priorities, and align projects and funding strategies. This section is meant to ground the registration requirements in the broader CoC framework so that registrants understand how the registration fits into the annual competition and local planning responsibilities.
Section II defines key terms used throughout the notice and the registration process. In practice, this kind of section helps applicants avoid mistakes caused by misunderstandings about roles (such as the collaborative applicant versus individual project applicants), required forms, and system-specific concepts in e-snaps. It also clarifies how HUD is using certain terminology for FY 2012, particularly as the CoC Program was being implemented under updates tied to the HEARTH Act amendments to the McKinney-Vento Act.
Section III is the step-by-step operational core of the notice, providing detailed instructions for completing the CoC registration process in e-snaps. The purpose here is to ensure collaborative applicants can successfully enter required information, complete the necessary components within the system, and submit registration correctly and on time. While the summary information provided does not list every sub-step, the intent is clear: HUD is emphasizing accurate electronic registration as a prerequisite to moving forward in the competition process, including working with required materials such as the FY 2012 Grant Inventory Worksheet(s) (GIWs), which are central to documenting and validating the projects and funding that make up a CoCs portfolio.
Section IV highlights major changes HUD planned to adopt for the FY 2012 CoC Program Competition. This section is specifically described as a planning aid for collaborative applicants, helping them anticipate what will be different in FY 2012 so they can shape their local competition timeline, project review process, and application development accordingly. The mention of HEARTH Act amendments signals that at least some changes relate to statutory updates affecting how CoC funding and program requirements are structured, although HUD also makes it clear that staff cannot help applicants prepare their registrations or applications.
Section V lists registration resources intended to help collaborative applicants complete the registration process successfully and prepare for submission. The notice directs users to e-snaps for the registration forms and points to support avenues for general clarification. HUD draws a firm boundary on assistance: HUD staff may provide general clarification about the notices content and about the HEARTH Act-related amendments, but they are prohibited from assisting with the actual preparation of registrations or applications for funding. For process and requirement questions, collaborative applicants are directed to contact the local HUD Community Planning and Development (CPD) Field Office serving their area, particularly for guidance on registration submission requirements, including the FY 2012 GIWs and requirements imposed under the Act.
In plain terms, this opportunity is best understood as a procedural gateway for CoC participation in FY 2012: register in e-snaps by the stated deadline, use the provided definitions and resources to avoid technical or compliance issues, account for noted competition changes while planning the full application, and rely on HUD CPD field offices for allowable forms of clarification without expecting direct help writing or assembling the submission.
