New and renewal COC project applications are due to the Rank & Review Committee by August 28. This means that your application has to be submitted in eSnaps prior to this date, with a pdf copy of the application and a copy of your most recent APR submitted to the Rank & Review committee by this date. Additional application materials may be required, and further information related to the Rank & Review process and scoring tools for new and renewal projects will be updated shortly.
Note that the August 28 deadline is a requirement in the NOFA. Specifically, COCs are required to set a local competition deadline that is 30 prior to the overall deadline, which this year is September 28.
We hope to receive applicants for the new project funding! Specifically, there is $189,449 available for new Permanent Housing or Rapid Rehousing projects under the Permanent Housing Bonus incentive offered by HUD. Receipt of the funds is contingent upon our entire COC application receiving a high enough score.
If you intend to apply, please send a notice of intent to apply to catcharkansas@gmail.com, so that we can readily send you information related to the Rank & Review process and scoring tools when they become available.
If you have any questions about this process, please contact Ben Goodwin, CATCH President, at 501-374-7383 ext 209 or ben@ourhouseshelter.org.
