What to Expect

Once funding is applied for through the Continuum of Care (CoC) each project is subject to a Rating and Review process that allows the project to be ranked on its impact for helping to end homelessness within our service area. The Rating and Ranking Committee is made up of a group of impartial persons who review the projects for threshold requirements, impact to area homeless service needs, degree to which project addresses HUD goals and past performance of organization and/or project.

The project is determined to be eligible or ineligible for submission to HUD and then placed in a project priority ranking list that is submitted along with the CoC Application for the specified funding year.

If the project is determined to be ineligible for submission to HUD the project is returned via E-snaps (https://esnaps.hud.gov/) to the organization submitting for funding and the organization is notified outside of e-snaps in writing a minimum of 15 days prior to the deadline of submission the reasons for ineligibility. HUD allows any organization who is found to be ineligible for funding the opportunity to apply directly through them via an appeal process. For complete information on this process please refer to the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). To see past & present CoC Applications, click here.
