July 10, 2008: Continuum of Care FY2008 Notice of Funding Availability Published in Federal Register

Today, HUD published the FY2008 Continuum of Care (CoC) Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for Homeless Assistance Grants. It can be found later today on HUD’s web site, on the Homelessness Resource Exchange, or can be accessed now on the Federal Register web site (search on “homeless”). The FY2008 CoC NOFA announces approximately $1.4 billion in funding available for homeless assistance grants across the country.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Although the NOFA has been released, the new e-snaps electronic application system is not yet available to receive applications (Exhibits 1 and 2). HUD will notify the public via the Homeless Assistance listserv (click here to join) when the application is available, and will publish an additional Federal Register Notice that details the application deadline based on the date when the electronic application is made available to the public. CoC representatives and grantees/applicants should not attempt to enter application information into e-snaps until HUD has announced that the application is available, as this may adversely impact CoC Registration (which is still open).

For training and additional information about e-snaps, go to the Homelessness Resource Exchange. For questions concerning e-snaps, please contact the e-snaps Help Desk at 1-877-6esnaps or via email at esnaps@hudhre.info.

As additional analysis is completed by LAHSA staff, more information will be made available on this page.
