Project Tiering and Ranking
The CoC will submit a Priority Listing that lists the new and renewal projects that are being applied for. All projects that are approved for inclusion will be prioritized in a two tier approach. The tiers are financial thresholds. Tier 1 is 30% of the Annual Renewal Demand for current projects. Tier 2 is the difference between Tier 1 and the maximum amount of renewal, reallocation and bonus funds available. (excluding the DV bonus amount). The Planning project is excluded from tiering.
Tier 2 project-level scoring remains the same with 3 criteria – CoC Application score, ranked position of the project application in Tier 2, and the projects adherence to HUD's priorities.
December 13th – Project submissions in E-Snaps complete. CoC local competition closes.
Project submission instructions for E-snaps will be reviewed at an APPLICATION WORKSHOP to be scheduled follow HUD's release . This is a Zoom meeting and the link will be sent out ahead of time.
