In general, HUD expects a project’s proposed project application information will remain the same from year-to-year unless changes are directed by HUD or approved through the grant agreement amendment process. However, HUD expects applicants to carefully review their information to determine if submitting without changes accurately reflects the expiring grant requesting renewal. The data from previously submitted new and renewal project applications can be imported into a FY 2024 renewal project application. The “Submit without Changes” process is not applicable for first time renewing project applications or for a project application that did not import FY 2023 information and e-snaps will automatically be set to “Make Changes” and all questions on each screen must be updated. Renewal projects that select “Yes - Individual Application in a Renewal Grant Consolidation” on the Renewal Grant Consolidation or Renewal Grant Expansion Screen may not use the “Submit Without Changes” process and esnaps will automatically be set to “Make Changes”. In addition, esnaps will automatically be set to “Make Changes” if the project applicant indicates on the Renewal Grant Consolidation or Renewal Grant Expansion Screen, this project application is for a “Yes - Stand-Alone Renewal Application in a New Grant Expansion” project application. The e-snaps screens that remain “open” for required annual updates and do not affect applicants’ ability to select “Submit without Changes” are: - Recipient Performance Screen - Consolidation and Expansion - Screen 3A. Project Detail - Screen 6A. Funding Request - Screen 6D. Sources of Match Screen 6E. Summary Budget - All of Part 7: Attachments and Certification; and - All of Part 8: Submission Summary. All other screens in Part 2 through Part 6 begin in “Read-Only” format and should be reviewed for accuracy; including any updates that were made to the 2023 project during the CoC Post Award Issues and Conditions process or as amended. If all the imported data is accurate and no edits or updates are needed to any screens other than the mandatory screens and questions noted above, project applicants should select “Submit Without Changes” in Part 8. If project applicants imported data and do need to make updates to the information on one or more screens, they must navigate to Part 8: “Submission Without Changes” Screen, select “Make Changes”, and check the box next to each relevant screen title to unlock screens for editing. After project applicants select the screens they intend to edit via checkboxes, click "Save" and those screens will be available for edit. Once a project applicant selects a checkbox and clicks "Save", the project applicant cannot uncheck the box. Please refer to the Detailed Instructions and e-snaps navigation guides found on HUD.gov to find more in depth information about applying under the FY 2024 CoC Competition.

In general, HUD expects a project’s proposed project application information will remain the same from year-to-year unless changes are directed by HUD or approved through the grant agreement amendment process. However, HUD expects applicants to carefully review their information to determine if submitting without changes accurately reflects the expiring grant requesting renewal. The data from previously submitted new and renewal project applications can be imported into a FY 2024 renewal project application. The “Submit without Changes” process is not applicable for first time renewing project applications or for a project application that did not import FY 2023 information and e-snaps will automatically be set to “Make Changes” and all questions on each screen must be updated. Renewal projects that select “Yes - Individual Application in a Renewal Grant Consolidation” on the Renewal Grant Consolidation or Renewal Grant Expansion Screen may not use the “Submit Without Changes” process and esnaps will automatically be set to “Make Changes”. In addition, esnaps will automatically be set to “Make Changes” if the project applicant indicates on the Renewal Grant Consolidation or Renewal Grant Expansion Screen, this project application is for a “Yes - Stand-Alone Renewal Application in a New Grant Expansion” project application. The e-snaps screens that remain “open” for required annual updates and do not affect applicants’ ability to select “Submit without Changes” are: - Recipient Performance Screen - Consolidation and Expansion - Screen 3A. Project Detail - Screen 6A. Funding Request - Screen 6D. Sources of Match Screen 6E. Summary Budget - All of Part 7: Attachments and Certification; and - All of Part 8: Submission Summary. All other screens in Part 2 through Part 6 begin in “Read-Only” format and should be reviewed for accuracy; including any updates that were made to the 2023 project during the CoC Post Award Issues and Conditions process or as amended. If all the imported data is accurate and no edits or updates are needed to any screens other than the mandatory screens and questions noted above, project applicants should select “Submit Without Changes” in Part 8. If project applicants imported data and do need to make updates to the information on one or more screens, they must navigate to Part 8: “Submission Without Changes” Screen, select “Make Changes”, and check the box next to each relevant screen title to unlock screens for editing. After project applicants select the screens they intend to edit via checkboxes, click "Save" and those screens will be available for edit. Once a project applicant selects a checkbox and clicks "Save", the project applicant cannot uncheck the box. Please refer to the Detailed Instructions and e-snaps navigation guides found on HUD.gov to find more in depth information about applying under the FY 2024 CoC Competition.

In general, HUD expects a project’s proposed project application information will remain the same from year-to-year unless changes are directed by HUD or approved through the grant agreement amendment process. However, HUD expects applicants to carefully review their information to determine if submitting without changes accurately reflects the expiring grant requesting renewal. The data from previously submitted new and renewal project applications can be imported into a FY 2024 renewal project application. The “Submit without Changes” process is not applicable for first time renewing project applications or for a project application that did not import FY 2023 information and e-snaps will automatically be set to “Make Changes” and all questions on each screen must be updated. Renewal projects that select “Yes - Individual Application in a Renewal Grant Consolidation” on the Renewal Grant Consolidation or Renewal Grant Expansion Screen may not use the “Submit Without Changes” process and esnaps will automatically be set to “Make Changes”. In addition, esnaps will automatically be set to “Make Changes” if the project applicant indicates on the Renewal Grant Consolidation or Renewal Grant Expansion Screen, this project application is for a “Yes - Stand-Alone Renewal Application in a New Grant Expansion” project application. The e-snaps screens that remain “open” for required annual updates and do not affect applicants’ ability to select “Submit without Changes” are: - Recipient Performance Screen - Consolidation and Expansion - Screen 3A. Project Detail - Screen 6A. Funding Request - Screen 6D. Sources of Match Screen 6E. Summary Budget - All of Part 7: Attachments and Certification; and - All of Part 8: Submission Summary. All other screens in Part 2 through Part 6 begin in “Read-Only” format and should be reviewed for accuracy; including any updates that were made to the 2023 project during the CoC Post Award Issues and Conditions process or as amended. If all the imported data is accurate and no edits or updates are needed to any screens other than the mandatory screens and questions noted above, project applicants should select “Submit Without Changes” in Part 8. If project applicants imported data and do need to make updates to the information on one or more screens, they must navigate to Part 8: “Submission Without Changes” Screen, select “Make Changes”, and check the box next to each relevant screen title to unlock screens for editing. After project applicants select the screens they intend to edit via checkboxes, click "Save" and those screens will be available for edit. Once a project applicant selects a checkbox and clicks "Save", the project applicant cannot uncheck the box.

A “DedicatedPLUS” project is a permanent supportive housing project where 100% of the beds are dedicated to serve individuals with disabilities and families in which one adult or child has a disability, including unaccompanied homeless youth, that at a minimum, meet ONE of the following criteria: (1) experiencing chronic homelessness as defined in 24 CFR 578.3; (2) residing in a transitional housing project that will be eliminated and meets the definition of chronically homeless in effect at the time in which the individual or family entered the transitional housing project; (3) residing in a place not meant for human habitation, emergency shelter, or safe haven; but the individuals or families experiencing chronic homelessness as defined at 24 CFR 578.3 had been admitted and enrolled in a permanent housing project within the last year and were unable to maintain a housing placement; (4) residing in transitional housing funded by a joint TH and PH-RRH component project and who were experiencing chronic homelessness as defined at 24 CFR 578.3 prior to entering the project; (5) residing and has resided in a place not meant for human habitation, a safe haven, or emergency shelter for at least 12 months in the last three years, but has not done so on four separate occasions; or (6) receiving assistance through a Department of Veterans Affairs(VA)-funded homeless assistance program and met one of the above criteria at initial intake to the VA's homeless assistance system. A renewal project where 100 percent of the beds were dedicated to individuals and families experiencing chronic homelessness under the grant that is being renewed may either be reallocated as a DedicatedPLUS project or may continue as a renewal dedicating 100 percent of its beds to individuals and families experiencing chronic homelessness. If the project is reallocated as a DedicatedPLUS project, the project must adhere to all fair housing requirements at 24 CFR 578.93.

Provide a description that addresses the entire scope of the proposed project and how the Collaborative Applicant will use grant funds to comply with 24 CFR 578.7: The Virgin Islands Housing Finance Authority, as the Collaborative Applicant for the Virgin Islands (VI-500 CoC) will use Planning Grant funds for activities related to critical planning and coordination among service providers, victim service providers, and other stakeholders and organizations that serve the homeless - specifically for supporting the design/development of the Territorial Crisis Response System (Coordinated Entry) that meets the needs of the homeless. The proposed project also entails desk reviews and on-site visits for review of program files, financial records relative to expenditure of grant funds, and program compliance - to include defrayment of personnel costs associated with CoC project monitoring. Finally, the proposed project entails the use of grant funds for costs related to the 2025 CoC application process to include publication of notices relative to the availability of CoC grant funds and solicitation of proposals; also notifications to the public regarding rating and selection criteria. 2. Describe the estimated schedule for the proposed activities, the management plan, and the method for assuring effective and timely completion of all work. The proposed activities that will be funded under the grant are expected to begin by June 1, 2025 and terminate by May 31, 2026. The CoC anticipates the successful implementation of the CES by the end of calendar year 2024; nonetheless, it is anticipated that additional work toward the optimizing the system design will still be required to ensure that the Territorial Crisis Response System (Coordinated Entry) meets the needs of the homeless most effectively. This will be an ongoing activity during the course of the grant period. Within sixty (60) days of grant implementation, the Collaborative Applicant will assist the CoC Executive Board in procuring capacity-building training for CoC staff, Board members and the general membership in CoC and ESG regulations as needed to facilitate project monitoring and evaluation of program outcomes. The goal is to carry out the monitoring of projects between the months of October - December 2024. Finally, grant funds will be used to help ensure that the 2025 CoC grant application process is carried out in accordance with the requirements relative to public notices etc. It is anticipated that the activities around the 2025 grant application process will begin immediately upon the commencement of the grant period (June 2025). 3. How will the requested funds improve or maintain the CoC's ability to evaluate the outcome of CoC and ESG projects? Applicant: V.I. Housing Finance Authority 176272615 Project: VI-500 CoC Planning Application FY2024 225009 FY2024 CoC Planning Project Application 10/30/2024 Funds under the grant will defray costs associated with CoC project evaluation to include capacity- building among CoC staff and member organizations to prepare the CoC for its role relative to evaluation of ESG- and CoC-funded projects. Presently, the CoC has limited capacity and this has impacted its ability to carry out comprehensive monitoring and objective outcome evaluation of projects. Capacity-building will include training on the regulations of the CoC and ESG programs, respectively. During FY 2024, the CoC encountered some difficulty access the local funding appropriation, which in combination with the funds requested under this Planning Grant, will enable the CoC to hire a full- time staff person. By taking the steps to formally incorporate as a non-profit, the CoC will be able to secure the appropriation and thus anticipates hiring a full- time staff person by November 30, 2024. This will greatly enhance the CoC's ability to carry out critical program responsibilities such as project evaluation and subrecipient monitoring. Applicant: V.I.

How often does the CoC conduct meetings of the full CoC membership? Monthly 2. Does the CoC include membership of a homeless or formerly homeless person? Yes 2a. For members who are homeless or formerly homeless, what role do they play in the CoC membership? (Select all that apply) Participates in CoC meetings: X Votes, including electing Coc Board: X Sits on CoC Board: X None: 3. Does the CoC's governance charter incorporate written policies and procedures for each of the following 3a. Written agendas of CoC meetings? Yes 3b. Coordinated Entry? (Also known as centralized or coordinated assessment) No Please explain why written policies and procedures for Coordinated Entry have not been incorporated into the CoC's governance charter? Applicant: V.I. Housing Finance Authority 176272615 Project: VI-500 CoC Planning Application FY2024 225009 FY2024 CoC Planning Project Application 10/30/2024 The CoC's efforts toward the design of its Coordinated Entry System continued slowly during the period but the design has not been completed. The development of written policies and procedures will accompany the finalization of the design; once adopted, the policies will be incorporated into the governance charter. One positive development in the interim has been the adoption of a case conferencing process around the administration of the Emergency Housing Vouchers. The case conferencing process includes a streamlined version of a process which includes assessment, prioritization, and referral tools. This process has helped to inform some of the refinements that will be needed to ensure successful operationalization of the CES. A major obstacle to the full implementation of the CES has been lack of FTE human capital. (The CoC has been an all-volunteer effort since its inception - largely due to lack of sufficient funding to hire staff). Although the CoC secured the commitment of a legislative appropriation of funding for a Homeless Services Administrator -which position will have the completion of the system design (to include development of the appropriate policies and procedures) and operationalization of the CES as its primary function - access to the funding was blocked by administrative challenges. The CoC now anticipates being able to 3c. Process for monitoring outcomes of ESG recipients? No 3d. CoC policies and procedures? No 3e. Written process for board selection? Yes 3f.
