2017 NOFA Results released
On January 11, 2018, HUD released the CoC 2017 NOFA competition results for grant applicants in our area. Out of the 12 project applicants our area submitted, 10 were funded (including the HUD Planning Grant). Two of these projects were "new projects"-which expanded rental help for the chronically homeless and disabled homeless through our two housing authorities. Four projects were subject to Tier 2 evaluation, which meant they were more vulnerable for discontinuation. Two of these projects were funded, two projects were not. The RRH Youth projects directed by Community Action Services and Food Bank that started in 2017 will be discontinuing in 2018, but the Continuum staff will work hard to find resources in other programs where these youth may also be eligible.
To see the full results, please download the attachment below. The attachment also shows results for all Utah CoC funded programs for 2018-2019.
If you have any questions about this funding results, you may contact CoC staff by emailing mcoc@unitedwayuc.org.

Final Priority Listing
The Final Priority Listing for the Mountainland Continuum of Care 2017 Local NOFA Competition was issued by the Rank and Review Committee on September 13, 2017. The Rank and Review Committee initially received all project applications, project summaries, supplementary materials and the Rank and Review Criteria on August 25, 2017. Each committee member scored projects individually and created their own priority listing result. Three of the members were able to meet in person and a fourth was able to send in results via email on August 31, 2017. Another committee member could not attend due to a scheduling conflict. The four members with available scorecards averaged their raw scores for each project unless there was a large disparity in scores. When there was a large disparity in a raw score, the present members re-scored the project together as a group by reviewing the Rank and Review Criteria. After this exercise, the initial priority listing was produced. Applicants were all notified of the results individually by letter from CoC staff on September 5, 2017. CoC staff were contacted by applicants with questions about the priority listing. The initial priority listing included 12 applicants, but after some deliberation, one of the applicants withdrew their project application on September 12, 2017. This produced a balance that originated from the permanent housing bonus, and this amount was allocated to the two other permanent housing bonus new projects (PCHA and HAUC) by unanimous committee vote on September 13, 2017. The Final Project Listing is attached below, along with the Rank and Review Meeting minutes.
