Opportunity Summary:
This HUD notice (Funding Opportunity Number FR-5500-N-32), posted June 23, 2011, is not a traditional grant application or a Notice of Funding Availability with an application package. Instead, it is a process and planning notice for the FY 2011 Continuum of Care (CoC) Homeless Assistance Competition. Its main purpose is to tell CoC lead applicants and related project applicants what they must do to complete the required CoC registration in HUDs e-snaps system, what key terms and concepts apply to that registration, and what significant policy and competition changes HUD planned to implement for FY 2011 under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act as amended by the HEARTH Act. The notice is time-bound around the registration window, with an original and current closing date of July 25, 2011, and it was archived July 26, 2011.
At a practical level, the notice is meant to accomplish three things. First, it lays out the functions and requirements of the annual CoC registration in e-snaps, which every CoC applicant must complete in order to participate in the FY 2011 competition. Second, it previews the major changes HUD intended to adopt in the FY 2011 CoC Competition so CoCs could plan their local process, timelines, project selection, and application strategy accordingly. Third, it helps users understand how HUD was moving toward implementation of HEARTH Act reforms within the CoC framework, tying registration and competition mechanics to the broader shift in federal homeless assistance policy.
The notice explains why registration matters by describing what HUD and CoCs use the registration data for. Through e-snaps registration, a CoC validates its identity, merger status (if applicable), and the geographic area it covers. That information is necessary for HUD to correctly apportion Preliminary Pro Rata Need (PPRN) funding tied to the CoCs jurisdiction. Registration is also where CoCs inventory which existing grants are up for renewal in the competition cycle and record the CoCs Hold Harmless Need amount, both of which feed into HUDs calculation of the CoCs Final Pro Rata Need (FPRN) for FY 2011. Finally, registration serves as an explicit confirmation that the CoC intends to submit an application in the FY 2011 competition, which is a key administrative checkpoint before full application submission later.
Structurally, the notice is organized into five sections, each serving a different audience need. Section I provides the policy and program background, including the CoC planning process and how HEARTH Act changes fit into HUDs approach. Section II defines the terms used throughout the registration instructions and competition planning discussion, helping CoCs interpret concepts like geographic jurisdiction, mergers, PPRN, FPRN, and related items that affect funding calculations and eligibility. Section III is the operational core of the notice, giving step-by-step detail on how to complete CoC registration inside e-snaps, including how to renew or update an existing registration rather than starting from scratch. Section IV is forward-looking: it summarizes the major changes HUD would adopt for the FY 2011 CoC Homeless Assistance Competition, specifically to help CoCs plan ahead as they develop the local competition, rank projects, and assemble their consolidated submission. Section V points users to practical registration resources so applicants can troubleshoot issues and avoid submission problems.
The opportunity is categorized as "Other" with a grant instrument type and a housing activity category, but it does not introduce a standalone funding pot by itself; it supports participation in the broader CoC Homeless Assistance Competition. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement mentioned in the source data for this notice. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others (see text field...)," reflecting that the notice is aimed at CoC applicants (the entities responsible for the community-wide CoC submission) and, by extension, project applicants who rely on the CoC process and need to understand the competition changes and registration implications.
For support and official resources, the notice directs applicants to the Homeless Resource Exchange (HRE) web page and notes that applicants having trouble accessing the full announcement should contact their local HUD CPD field office (as identified in the notice) or use the HUD HRE Virtual Help Desk. In short, the document is a technical and policy guidance notice designed to make sure CoCs complete e-snaps registration correctly and on time, understand the funding-need calculations that registration enables, and are prepared for FY 2011 competition changes tied to HEARTH Act implementation.
