SNAPS-Shots

Description

HUD’s Office of Special Needs Assistance Programs (SNAPS) has reviewed comments on the Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) and Continuum of Care (CoC) Interim Rules, working on in-depth guidance, and fielding questions received through the Ask A Question portal. Through this process, HUD has identified topics that seem to be particularly challenging to recipients and subrecipients implementing these programs.

While HUD continues to work to release detailed guidance, there is an ongoing need for quick, “bite-size” information to help understand the requirements. SNAPS-Shots are designed to highlight and explain key concepts in the ESG and CoC Interim Rules.
