FY 2018 CoC Program Registration Forms Available in e-snaps and HPC Notice Coming Soon

CPD Notice-18-06: Applying to be a High Performing Community (HPC)

HUD will post the CPD Notice-18-06: Applying to be a High Performing Community (HPC) to the FY 2018 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program Competition: Funding Availability page on the HUD Exchange no earlier than Wednesday, May 2, 2018. This Notice will provide the detailed information Collaborative Applicants will need to complete in the HPC forms in the FY 2018 CoC Program Registration process.

Registration is Open

The FY 2018 CoC Program Registration forms are now available in e-snaps with a submission deadline of 5:00 PM EDT on May 14, 2018.
  • Collaborative Applicants for CoCs that have changes from the FY 2017 CoC Program Competition (e.g., change in Collaborative Applicant, CoCs merged, change in geographic codes) must complete the registration forms to gain access to the Consolidated Application in the FY 2018 CoC Program Competition that includes the CoC Application, the CoC Priority Listing, and project applications. If a CoC has no changes from the previous year’s CoC Program Competition and the Collaborative Applicant chooses not to complete the registration forms, HUD will move the previous year’s CoC Program Registration information forward with no changes (see Section I of the Notice CPD 18-03: CoC Program Registration Notice).
     
  • Any Collaborative Applicant with an existing FY 2017 Unified Funding Agency (UFA) designation must update, complete, and attach required documentation as required in Notice CPD 18-05: Unified Funding Agency because a UFA designation request must be submitted each year. If a Collaborative Applicant with an existing UFA designation does not complete and submit the FY 2018 CoC Program Registration forms it will lose its UFA designation for FY 2018.
     
  • Any Collaborative Applicant that intend to apply for UFA designation and/or HPC designation must complete all forms, attach required documentation as required in Notice CPD 18-05: Unified Funding Agency and/or Notice CPD 18-06: Applying to become a High Performing Community and submit its registration by FY 2018 CoC Program Registration submission deadline of May 14, 2018 at 5:00 PM EDT.
If you are aware or suspect that the Collaborative Applicant for your CoC is not currently receiving these listserv messages, please forward the following link so the Collaborative Applicant can register to receive listserv messages as this is the only form HUD uses to communicate CoC Program information to the public: https://www.hudexchange.info/mailinglist/.
