Who can receive a CoC planning grant?
CoC planning grants can only be awarded to the CoC’s Collaborative Applicant or Unified Funding Agency.
FAQ: What is a Collaborative Applicant?
Answer: The Collaborative Applicant is the eligible applicant (State, unit of local government, private, nonprofit organization, or public housing agency) designated by the CoC to:
- Collect and submit the required CoC Application information for all projects the CoC has selected for funding, and
- Apply for CoC planning funds on behalf of the CoC.
The CoC may assign additional responsibilities to the Collaborative Applicant so long as these responsibilities are documented in the CoC's governance charter.
