NOFO Preparations
New Guidance on PH to TH Conversions
Dear Colleagues,
HUD has signaled that the 2026 CoC Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) will be released on June 1st. While we are waiting for that, here are some tips to be prepared.
For projects that expect to transition from permanent to transitional housing, review this updated PH to TH Conversion guidance. In particular – see slides 14-16 for new HUD information.
If you are an applicant or if you’re responsible for completing and/or submitting a DOH or DMHAS application, please take a few moments to ensure that:
- At least 2 people from each agency have access to e-snaps
- Your e-snaps applicant profile is up to date
Here is a link to the e-snaps 101 Toolkit to assist.
E-snaps updates:
- Security measure: users are inactive after 3 months without logging in
- Contact e-snaps@hud.gov to request password reset
- Indirect cost form added to applicant profile (How to update app. profile)
- Indicate whether or not applying an indirect cost rate
- If yes – indicate whether using the 15% de minimus rate or a negotiated indirect cost rate (NICRA).
- If using a NICRA – complete the associated chart.
To assist with questions related to indirect costs, please see the following resources:
Note that if your agency has a NICRA, it must be applied to each federal grant.
As always, feel free to reach out to us at ctboscoc@gmail.com with any questions and thank you for all that you do.
Sincerely,
CT BOS Team
