FY 2009 CoC Names/Numbers, Geo Codes, and Preliminary Pro Rata Need Amounts

HUD developed a 2009 list of CoC names and has released a Preliminary Pro Rata Need (PPRN) list which contains geographies and corresponding need amounts.

Support Housing Program (SHP) and Shelter Plus Care (SPC) Grant Inventory Workbook Reference Materials

A sample grant inventory workbook is available as a resource to CoCs. Grant inventory workbooks (GIWs) were provided by HUD to CoCs for SHP and SPC in July 2009. GIWs were used to provide CoCs and Field Offices with information about SHP and SPC grants that were eligible for renewal in the 2009 competition. GIW instructions and information on renewal eligibility are provided in the sample grant inventory workbook.

Guidance for Merging CoCs

CoCs sometimes consider consolidating, or merging, with one or more other CoCs to achieve improved coordination of services, more efficient resource allocation, and regional planning to address homelessness. In recognition of these advantages, HUD adopted a policy for calculating Pro-Rata Need that ensures that CoCs will not lose funds by merging.

DUN and Bradstreet DUNS Number Guide

Most potential and existing U.S. Government Contractors, Grantees and Loan Recipients are required to obtain a Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) Number for US Government registration purposes. The DUNS Number verifies the legal name, physical address and tradestyle (DBA) of each location and is the key to starting the CCR registration process.  Refer to the following guide for more information:

Calculating Unmet Need for Homeless Individuals and Families

The following guidance will assist your community in preparing the McKinney-Vento application and undertaking long-term program planning. HUD has developed this guidance to assist CoCs in completing the unmet need calculation. However, communities may choose to continue using their own procedures to determine unmet need. The guidance introduces standardized formulas and procedures for calculating unmet need and identifies the data needed for the calculations. A document called "Worksheets for Calculating Unmet Need" is also available to assist with these calculations.
