460 CoC applications – grows every year– Last “SuperNOFA” program to be
electronic– Choice: grants.gov or viable alternative– Goal: to make the process more efficient
in the long run

e-snaps and the CoC Competition
• Goals of e-snaps initiative:– Cut down review time at HUD to get
funding out within the same fiscal year it is appropriated.
– Make the process more efficient for CoCs after the first/baseline year (data can be updated, not re-written).
– Provide a grants management tool for CoCs, field offices and HQ so that everyone has the same information.
