Action Required
E-snaps NOFO Preparations
Dear Colleagues,
HUD has signaled that the 2026 CoC Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) will be released on May 29th. While we are waiting for that, if you are an applicant or responsible for 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.
New e-snaps steps:
- Security measure: users are rendered inactive after a 3-month period without logging in.
- If locked out, contact the e-snaps helpdesk at e-snaps@hud.gov requesting the password be reset.
- Indirect cost form added to applicant profile
- Indicate whether or not they will be applying an indirect cost rate
- If yes – indicate whether they will use the 15% de minimis 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
