The FY 2018 CoC Consolidated Application requires TWO submissions.
Both this Project Priority Listing AND the CoC Application MUST be
submitted prior to the CoC Program Competition deadline as required by

The Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Act of 2009 (HEARTH Act), enacted into law on
May 20, 2009, consolidated the homeless assistance programs administered by HUD under the McKinney-Vento
Homeless Assistance Act into a single grant program, and revises the Emergency Shelter Grants program and renames
it the Emergency Solutions Grants program. The HEARTH Act also codifies into law the Continuum of Care (CoC)
planning process, a longstanding part of HUD’s application process to assist homeless persons by providing greater
community-wide coordination, decision-making, and leadership.
