• Most recent APR
• Documentation of match
• New Projects only: Documentation of leverage and documentation of Board of Directors

Regional Committee Project Approval Form

New this year, Regional Committees need to approve and rank all CoC project applications from their counties before they can be entered into esnaps.  NCCEH has created a Project Approval Form for committees to fill out listing all approved and ranked applications.

The due date for the Project Approval Form will be announced after HUD announces the 2009 New Project funding – stay tuned for updates!

Revised Pre-Applications Due July 9th

All applicants who turned in a pre-application should have received feedback from Nancy Hunter with recommended changes.  Revised drafts of the pre-apps including these changes are due to NCCEH by Friday, July 9th.

Pre-Applications & QPRs due today

Any agency that plans to apply for new or renewal funding in the 2010 CoC competition must submit a pre-application by 5 pm today, Friday, June 4.  The only exception is for agencies that submitted a new project in 2009 and plan to re-submit the same application in 2010 if it’s not funded.

Quarterly Progress Reports (QPRs) are also due by the end of the day from all current grantees.

The pre-app and QPR forms can be downloaded from the NCCEH website at www.ncceh.org/bosgrantees/.

Point-in-Time Count Forms Due 2/3/10

We hope that all Balance of State communities had a successful Point-in-Time Count!  The forms to report your numbers are due to NCCEH by 5 pm on Wednesday, February 3.

What needs to be turned in?

• A Sheltered Count Form for each agency that provides emergency shelter, transitional housing, or permanent supportive housing
• An Unsheltered Reporting Form for your community’s unsheltered (street) count
• Optional: a Housed & At-Risk of Homelessness Count & Reporting Form IF your community counted precariously housed and imminently homeless populations

Please email any questions to Nancy Holochwost.  We look forward to hearing from you soon!
