The Federal Register notice that

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: 

Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance 

Grant Application—Continuum of Care 

Registration. 

OMB Approval Number: 2506–0182. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Form Number: Not Applicable. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: The 

regulatory authority to collect this 

information is contained in 24 CFR part 

579, and the HEARTH Act. The CoC 

Homeless Assistance Application 

Registration (OMB 2506–0182) is the 

first part of the information collection 

process to be used in HUD’s annual 

competitive homeless assistance 

program, the CoC Program, authorized 

by the HEARTH Act. It is separate from 

the annual CoC Homeless Assistance 

Consolidated Application, which 

contains the CoC Application and the 

Project Applications that are covered 

under the approved PRA package 2506– 

0112. This separation is necessary due 

in to the fact that the CoC Registration 

occurs several months before collection 

of the CoC Homeless Assistance 

Consolidated Application and that the 

information collected during CoC 

Registration does not frequently change. 

The annual CoC Registration 

comprises the first phase of the 

combined CoC Homeless Assistance 

information collection form. During this 

phase, HUD collects the contact 

information of the collaborative 

applicant for the CoC, and the HMIS 

Lead Agency as well as the geographic 

areas served by the CoC applicant. 

Additionally, CoCs approve their 

preliminary pro-rata need and affirm 

their annual renewal demand, and HUD 

collects information regarding the CoC’s 

board structure and the capacity of the 

CoC to carry out the various activities 

outlined in the program regulations. The 

registration information is necessary to 

assist in the selection of project 

proposals submitted to HUD (by State 

and local governments, public housing 

authorities, and nonprofit organizations) 

for the awarded funds during the annual 

CoC competition because it provides 

vital information about the CoC 

applicants. 

All collaborative applicants are 

required to register their CoCs in the esnaps electronic grants management 

system prior to the opening of the CoC 

Homeless Assistance competition. The 

registration requirements include a 

basic description of the CoC’s lead 

organization, contact information, and 

geographic area. The information to be 

collected by HUD will be used to 

determine eligibility for CoC Homeless 

Assistance and establish grant amounts. 

To determine the total amount a CoC 

may request for renewal funding, 

collaborative applicants will list their 

Continuum’s programs on a Grant 

Inventory Worksheet (GIW) that will 

allow HUD to accurately assess 

individual project applications during 

the CoC Application process. The 

information from the GIW is essential 

for operation of the CoC competition. 

For the CoC, the GIW allows each CoC 

to see all the project grants side-by-side 

that will be eligible for competition in 

the annual competition. This then 

allows them to determine, in 

communication with HUD, the total 

amount of funding (the annual renewal 

demand or ARD) that their CoC has 

available in a given competition year, 

which then allows them to make 

informed planning decisions about 

which project grants they want to 

prioritize, reduce or eliminate in the 

actual CoC Homeless Assistance 

Program Application. In turn, the 

program details in the GIW allow HUD 

to conduct an accurate assessment of 

renewal project applications and to 

determine in the aggregate what the 

total renewal demand for all CoCs will
