Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) registration notice tied to the FY 2014 component of the 2013 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program Competition. It is not a typical grant NOFA announcing new program funding on its own; instead, it tells CoC Collaborative Applicants what they must do to register and what they should know before submitting electronic materials through HUDs e-snaps system. HUD posted it on July 18, 2014, with a registration deadline of August 6, 2014, and it was archived on August 11, 2014. The notice is associated with Funding Opportunity Number FR 5700 N 31 A, falls under the Housing activity category, and states there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is listed broadly (others; see the full notice for details), but the key practical audience is the CoC Collaborative Applicant responsible for completing the CoC-level registration steps.
The notice is organized into five sections that together function as a set of instructions, definitions, and reminders for successful electronic submission. Section I provides background on the CoC Program and explains a key timing issue: when the broader FY 2013-FY 2014 CoC Program Competition NOFA was released, the final FY 2014 funding amount was not yet known. Because of that uncertainty, HUD uses this registration notice to clarify funding limitations and related constraints that could affect how communities plan, prioritize, and submit projects for the FY 2014 component. In other words, it sets expectations about the funding environment and helps prevent applicants from building submissions on assumptions that might not hold once final appropriations or allocation limits are confirmed.
Section II lays out the key terms used throughout the notice and the registration process. This matters because CoC competitions involve multiple entities and roles (for example, the Collaborative Applicant, project applicants, the CoC itself, and HUD), and the e-snaps workflow depends on those roles being correctly understood and assigned. By defining terms up front, HUD aims to reduce common registration errors such as misidentifying the authorized submitting entity, misunderstanding what counts as registration versus application submission, or confusing CoC-level actions with project-level actions.
Section III is the operational core of the notice: it provides step-by-step guidance for completing CoC registration in e-snaps. The emphasis is on how to properly carry out the electronic registration tasks so the CoC can later submit the required application components on time. While the notice summary does not list each individual click-path, the intent is clear: HUD is trying to prevent avoidable technical or procedural problems that can derail submissions, such as incomplete registrations, missing required fields, or failure to finalize steps in the system by the deadline.
Section IV describes policies HUD is implementing for the FY 2013-FY 2014 CoC Program Competition and highlights requirements that every applicant should take into account. This section functions as a compliance and quality-control checkpoint. It alerts communities to competition-specific policy choices and reminds them that their registration and eventual submission must align with applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. The notice specifically points readers to the CoC Program interim rule at 24 CFR part 578, indicating that applicants and stakeholders should review that rule to better understand program requirements, responsibilities, and constraints that govern how funds may be requested and used.
Section V provides practical resources to support Collaborative Applicants through registration and preparation for submission. This includes directing applicants to a registration web page and other tools intended to help them complete the process correctly and on schedule. The notice also clarifies the boundaries of HUD assistance: HUD staff can provide general clarification about the content of the notice and information about the HEARTH Act amendments to the McKinney-Vento Act, but they are not allowed to help applicants prepare their actual registration or application within e-snaps. For help accessing the full announcement or for general questions, applicants are instructed to contact their local HUD CPD Field Office.
Overall, the notice serves as a procedural and policy companion to the larger CoC competition announcement, focused on getting CoCs properly registered in e-snaps, setting expectations about FY 2014 funding limitations, and reinforcing that submissions must follow the CoC interim rule and related federal requirements. The main takeaway for a prospective participant is that timely and accurate registration is mandatory groundwork for competing under the FY 2014 component, and the document is meant to reduce last-minute submission failures by spelling out definitions, steps, policy considerations, and where to find official resources.
