[Docket No. FR–5220–N–02] 

Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) 

for the Continuum of Care Homeless 

Assistance Program: Deadline for 

Applications and Technical 

Corrections 

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant 

Secretary for Community Planning and 

Development, HUD. 

ACTION: Notice of Funding Availability 

(NOFA). 

SUMMARY: On July 10, 2008, HUD 

published in the Federal Register the 

NOFA for the Continuum of Care (CoC) 

Homeless Assistance Program. Through 

this NOFA, HUD is making available 

approximately $1.42 billion in Fiscal 

Year (FY) 2008 for the CoC program. 

The purpose of the CoC program is to 

reduce the incidence of homelessness in 

communities by assisting homeless 

individuals and families to move to self 

sufficiency and permanent housing. 

Today’s publication establishes the 

deadline date for the submission of 

applications and corrects or clarifies 

portions of the CoC NOFA published on 

July 10, 2008. 

DATES: The application submission date 

for applications is September 26, 2008. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Individuals may direct questions 

regarding the CoC NOFA to the HUD 

Field Office serving their area, at the 

telephone numbers shown in HUD’s 

Notice of Fiscal Year (FY) 2008 Notice 

of Funding Availability (NOFA); Policy 

Requirements and General Section to 

HUD’s FY2008 NOFAs for Discretionary 

Programs (General Section) published 

on March 19, 2008 (73 FR 14883), or 

may contact the e-snaps Help Desk at 1–

877–6esnaps (1–877–637–6277). 

Individuals who are hearing- or speechimpaired should use the Information 

Relay Service at 1–800–877–8339 (these 

are toll-free numbers). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 

30, 2008 (73 FR 23483), HUD published 

its Notice of FY2008 Opportunity to 

Register and Other Important 

Information for Electronic Application 

Submission for Continuum of Care 

Homeless Assistance Programs (CoC 

Early Registration Notice). The CoC 

Early Registration Notice alerted the 

public that HUD would require 

Continuums of Care to submit 

applications electronically, using esnaps, an electronic system separate 

from Grants.gov. On July 10, 2008 (73 

FR 39840), HUD published its CoC 

NOFA, making available approximately 

$1.42 billion in FY 2008 for the CoC 

program. The purpose of the CoC 

program is to reduce the incidence of 

homelessness in communities by 

assisting homeless individuals and 

families to move to self sufficiency and 

permanent housing. In the July 10, 2008, 

CoC NOFA, HUD stated that the 

application portion of the e-snaps 

system had not yet been launched and 

that HUD, as a result, was unable to 

establish a due date for the FY2008 CoC 

competition. HUD stated, however, that 

it would announce the application due 

date for the program through separate 

Federal Register notice. Today’s 

publication establishes the deadline 

date for the submission of applications. 

Today’s publication also corrects or 

clarifies the CoC NOFA published on 

July 10, 2008. 

Deadline for Applications 

The application deadline date for the 

CoC NOFA is September 26, 2008. 

Electronic applications must be received 

by e-snaps by 4 p.m. eastern time on the 

deadline date. HUD will close e-snaps at 

4:01 p.m. eastern time. Similarly, paper 

applications from applicants granted a 

waiver from the electronic application 

submission requirement must be 

received by HUD by 4 p.m. eastern 

standard time on the deadline date. 

Summary of Technical Corrections 

Today’s publication also corrects or 

clarifies a number of sections of the July 

10, 2008, CoC NOFA. These corrections 

and clarifications are listed below by 

page and section. 

On page 39840, Overview 

Information, Section F., first column, 

entitled ‘‘Dates,’’ HUD is revising this 

section to conform to the deadline date 

for applications established by today’s 

publication. HUD had hoped to 

establish a deadline date at least 60 days 

from the publication date of today’s 

publication. While the deadline date 

established by today’s publication falls 

short of meeting this goal, HUD has 

attempted to provide potential CoC 

applicants 60 days notice of the 

deadline date by posting the deadline 

date for applications at http:// 

www.hud.gov/esnaps. 

On page 39845, Section III.A.1., HUD 

is correcting the eligibility chart, fourth 

column under ‘‘Section 8 SRO’’ to note 

that homeless individuals eligible for 

SRO need not be disabled. 

On page 39851, Section V.1.e., third 

column, entitled ‘‘Emphasis on Housing 

Activities,’’ HUD is correcting this 

paragraph to note that HUD will award 

points based on the relationship 

between funds requested for housing 

activities and funds requested for 

supportive services activities among 

both new and renewal projects. 

On page 39854, Section VI.B.1.a., 

second column, HUD inadvertently 

indicated that it will use five 

measurable indicators related to the 

Continuum of Care homeless assistance 

programs based on the Government 

Performance and Results Act. In fact, 

HUD will use four indicators. 

Accordingly, the Notice of HUD’s 

Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) 

for the Continuum of Care Homeless 

Assistance Program, published on July 

10, 2008, beginning at 73 FR 39840, is 

corrected as follows:

On page 39840, Overview 

Information, Section F., first column, 

entitled ‘‘Dates,’’ HUD is revising this 

section to read as follows: 

F. Dates: The application deadline 

date for the CoC NOFA is September 26, 

2008. Electronic applications must be 

received by e-snaps by 4 p.m. eastern 

time on the deadline date. HUD will 

close e-snaps at 4:01 p.m. eastern time. 

Similarly, paper applications from 

applicants granted a waiver from the 

electronic application submission 

requirement must be received by HUD 

by 4 p.m. eastern standard time on the 

deadline date. 

On page 39845, Section III.A.1., HUD 

is correcting the eligibility chart, fourth 

column under ‘‘Section 8 SRO,’’ to read 

as follows: 

Elements Section 8 SRO 

Authorizing Legislation ............................................................................. Section 441 of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, 42 

U.S.C. 11401. 

Implementing Regulations ........................................................................ 24 CFR part 882, subpart H, except that all persons receiving rental 

assistance must meet the McKinney-Vento definition of homelessness. 

Eligible Applicant(s) .................................................................................. • PHAs. 

• Private nonprofit organizations. 

Eligible Component(s) .............................................................................. • SRO housing. 

Eligible Activities, See footnotes 1, 2, and 3 ........................................... • Rental assistance. 

Eligible Populations, See footnote 2 ........................................................ • Homeless individuals. 

Populations Given Special Consideration ................................................ • N/A. 

Initial Term of Assistance, See footnote 4 ............................................... • 10 years. 

On page 39851, Section V.1.e., third 

column, entitled ‘‘Emphasis on Housing 

Activities,’’ HUD is correcting this 

paragraph to read as follows: 

e. Emphasis on Housing Activities: 

HUD will award 18 points based on the 

relationship between funds requested 

for housing activities (i.e., transitional 

and permanent) and funds requested for 

supportive service activities. Housing 

emphasis will be calculated on eligible 

new and renewal projects within FPRN. 

HUD will count as housing activity all 

approvable requests for funds for rental 

assistance and approvable requests for 

acquisition, rehabilitation, construction, 

leasing and operations when used in 

connection with housing. HMIS costs 

and administrative costs will be 

excluded from this calculation. CoCs are 

not required to have 100 percent 

housing activities to receive the full 18 

points for this scoring criteria. 

On page 39854, Section VI.B.1.a., 

second column, HUD is correcting this 

paragraph to read as follows: 

a. The Government Performance and 

Results Act (GPRA) requires Federal 

agencies to measure the performance of 

their programs. HUD captures this 

information not only from monitoring 

visits and APRs, but also on the data 

gathered in annual competitions. For 

example, the description of methods 

used in determining the project priority 

order submitted in Exhibit 1 provides 

verification that projects are performing 

satisfactorily and are effectively 

addressing the needs for which they 

were designed. HUD’s homeless 

assistance programs are measured in 

2008 by the objective to ‘‘end chronic 

homelessness and to move homeless 

families and individuals to permanent 

housing.’’ This objective has a number 

of measurable indicators, four of which 

relate directly to the Continuum of Care 

homeless assistance programs. These 

four indicators, as described below, will 

be collected in Exhibit 1: 

(1) At least 415 functioning CoC 

communities will have a functional 

Homeless Management Information 

System (HMIS) by Fiscal Year 2008. 

(2) The percentage of formerly 

homeless individuals who remain 

housed in HUD permanent housing 

projects for at least 6 months will be at 

least 71.5 percent. 

(3) The percentage of homeless 

persons who have moved from HUD 

transitional housing into permanent 

housing will be at least 63.5 percent. 

(4) The employment rate of persons 

exiting HUD homeless assistance 

projects will be at least 19 percent.
