Introduction
Welcome to the Project Applicant Profile Navigational Guide.
This guide covers important information about accessing and
completing the Project Applicant Profile. Throughout the
year, the Applicant Profile can be updated by logging in to e-
snaps and selecting "Applicants."
Each applicant organization is required to complete only one
Applicant Profile. Organizations that have already
established an Applicant Profile in e-snaps in prior years
must review each screen and edit them as needed, ensuring
that each revision is saved.
View resources for e-snaps and the CoC Program Competition on the e-snaps main
page on the HUD Exchange at: https://www.hudexchange.info/programs/e-snaps/
Objectives
By the end of this module, you will be able to do the following:
Access e-snaps
Complete the Project Applicant Profile
Overview of this Navigational Guide
The instructional steps in this navigational guide follow the progression of screens in e-snaps.
Accessing e-snaps. All e-snaps users need usernames and passwords in order to log in to the
online e-snaps system. In order to see an organization's Applicant Profile, Project Applications,
etc., the e-snaps user needs to be associated as a "registrant" with the organization's
account. This document identifies the steps to add/delete registrants.
Project Applicant Profile. The Authorized Representative must review the Applicant Profile,
update the information as needed, and select the "Complete" button in order to proceed with the
CoC Program Competition.
Ask A Question
Submit questions to the AAQ at:
https://www.hudexchange.info/program-
support/my-question/. On Step 2 of the
AAQ form:
* Select system: “e-snaps” for questions
about the Notices and NOFAs; Project
Applications; CoC Application and CoC
Priority Listing; Grant awards,
agreements, or amendments; and
e-snaps technical issues.
* Select "CoC Program" for policy and
regulatory questions.

Highlights in e-snaps for the CoC Program Competition
This section highlights several items in e-snaps this year.
The "Project Application" and "CoC Consolidated Application."
o The Project Application includes the information submitted on the SF-424 forms, as well as
the application submitted by renewal and/or new Project Applicants for funding consideration.
o The CoC Priority Listing consists of the New Project Listing, Renewal Project Listing,
Reallocations, CoC Planning Project Listing, and, if the Collaborative Applicant is designated
as a UFA, a UFA Project Listing. The CoC Priority Listing contains the reallocation forms that
the Collaborative Applicant will need to complete if projects are being reallocated, along with
an attachment form.
Importing of Data. When the CoC Program Competition opens and Project Applicants are able
to begin the Project Application, they will be able to import data from previous years' Project
Application(s).
o Project applicants who want to submit a Renewal Project Application can import data from
the prior year ONLY if the previous year's application was submitted as a Renewal.
o There are two situations when an applicant submitting a Renewal Project Application cannot
import data.
(1) If the previous year's application was submitted as a New Project Application, the project
applicant will not be able to import data into the current year's Renewal Project Application.
(2) Projects that were awarded prior to the most recent competition and are coming in for
renewal for the first-time in the current funding competition cannot import data from a
previous project application. Instead, the applicant needs to create a Renewal Project
Application on the Projects screen without importing data and then complete the entire
renewal application.
Applicant field and dropdown menu. When e-snaps users log in to the system, they will see an
"Applicant" field at the top of the screen. This field identifies the organization's account in which
the user is working.
o e-snaps users with access to more than one organization's account will see a dropdown
menu listing two or more organizations. This group of e-snaps users includes staff persons
who work on multiple applications (e.g., a staff person at an agency that serves as the
Collaborative Applicant as well as a Project Applicant submitting one or more Project
Applications).
o This feature appears on the Applicants, Funding Opportunity, Projects, and Submissions
screens. Only the items (e.g., Projects) pertaining to the Applicant listed in the field appear on
the screen. e-snaps users must ensure they are working in the correct Applicant account.
Collaborative Applicant. During the CoC Program Competition, Project Applicants will see
references to the "Collaborative Applicant." The Collaborative Applicant is the entity designated
by the CoC to submit the CoC Registration and CoC Consolidated Application in the CoC
Program Competition on behalf of the CoC. The Collaborative Applicant is responsible for the
coordination and oversight of the CoC planning efforts and has the authority to certify and submit
the CoC homeless assistance funding application. This entity is also known as the CoC Applicant.
Project Applicant Profile
3
Unified Funding Agency (UFA). During the CoC Program Competition, Project Applicants may
see references to the "Unified Funding Agency." A Collaborative Applicant seeking this
designation must apply during the Registration process. HUD-approved UFAs are eligible to
receive planning costs and UFA Financial costs.

Accessing e-snaps
e-snaps contains the registration and application forms that are submitted electronically during the annual
competition under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Registration Notice and Notice of Funding Availability
(NOFA) for Homeless Assistance Programs.
NOTE:
Each e-snaps user must have his or her own log-in credentials. Preferably, each
organization would have two people with access to e-snaps—the Authorized
Representative and one or more additional staff persons (e.g., the Alternate Contact[s]).

Project Applicant Profile
The Applicant Profile must be updated before starting the application process.
Project Applicants must complete the Applicant Profile before moving forward in the registration process.
For the Applicant Profile to be complete, the Project Applicant needs to ensure the data entered in the
Applicant Profile is accurate and select the “Complete” button on the Submission Summary screen of the
Applicant Profile. Only after doing so will a Project Applicant be able to advance successfully in e-snaps
to the Project Application.
This section provides instructions on gaining access to the Applicant Profile and completing the forms.
NOTE:
If the organization serving as the recipient is also the CoC-designated Collaborative
Applicant, the organization will have a second Applicant Profile for the CoC Collaborative
Applicant.
There is a separate resource for completing the CoC Applicant Profile, entitled "CoC
Applicant Profile Navigational Guide," which is available on the e-snaps main page on
the HUD Exchange at: https://www.hudexchange.info/programs/e-snaps/

Establishing an Applicant Profile for a New Project Applicant
(First-time Applicants only)
This section pertains only to those organizations that are new to e-snaps and need to establish an
Applicant Profile for the first time.
An organization that is going to submit a Project Application for the first time, such as those that are
taking over a grant from a previous organization, must establish its organization in e-snaps, which
essentially establishes an organizational e-snaps account that the Applicant Profile, Project Applications,
and APRs can reside.
There are a few items to note prior to establishing an organizational e-snaps account.
All Project Applicants are required to have a Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) Number
and registration with the System for Award Management (SAM). See information in the Resource
Note below.
The Authorized Representative does not need to enter in all the information, but the
representative must establish a user profile, log in, and establish the organization as an applicant.
Any registered user can complete the Applicant Profile, but the Authorized Representative must
complete and sign the required certifications and attachments before they can be attached in e-
snaps.
The next page provides instructions on establishing the Applicant Profile for new recipients only.
DUNS Number and SAM
See the resource for obtaining a DUNS Number and registering with the SAM on the
CoC Program Competition Resources page at:
https://www.hudexchange.info/programs/e-snaps/.
The Dun and Bradstreet website is www.dnb.com.
The SAM website is www.sam.gov. Note that SAM is also known as System for Award
Management and was previously known as CCR, Central Contractor Registration.

Putting the Applicant Profile in "edit-mode"
When the CoC Program Competition period opens and e-snaps users log in who already have a
complete Applicant Profile, the Applicant Profile may be marked as complete and an "Edit" button will
appear on the "Submission Summary" screen, as shown in the screenshot below. You need to put your
Applicant Profile in edit-mode.
One of the requirements for the CoC Program Competition is the completion of the
Applicant Profile. In order to meet that requirement, the "Complete" button must be
selected within the timeframe of the competition period.
Therefore, when you log in for the first time after the CoC Program Competition period
opens, even if there is a statement "This e.Form has been marked as complete," you
MUST put the forms in edit-mode and select the "Complete" button again.
Review the instructions at the end of this subsection for more detailed information.

as part of the CoC Consolidated Application. If the Department is unable to contact the Primary Contact,
the Alternate Contact will be next in line.
NOTE:
The Alternate Contact is often the person who actually completes the project application
for review by the Authorized Representative.
Therefore, in the Project Application in e-snaps, on screen 1B. Legal Applicant,

5. Forms & Attachments
There are several forms and attachment screens in the Applicant Profile. The forms attachments that
appear on the left menu bar are determined by the Applicant's selection for "Organization Type" on the
"Organization Information" screen. For example, Project Applicants that selected "M. Nonprofit with
501(c)(3) IRS Status (Other than Institution of Higher Education)" must include nonprofit documentation.
This is the complete list of potential forms/attachments:
HUD form 2880 - Applicant/Recipient Disclosure/Update Report (required).
This form is no longer an attachment in e-snaps. Rather, there is a HUD for 2880 screen for
Project Applicants to complete.
Code of Conduct
This attachment is not required to activate the "Complete" button in the Profile, but the Field
Office will most likely request that you attach this document in e-snaps for award. Regardless, if it
is not attached, then it must be listed on the HUD website,
https://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/administration/grants/conduct
Nonprofit Documentation (required, will appear only for applicants that selected option M or N)
Survey on Equal Employment Opportunity (required)
Other Attachments
NOTE:
Attachments that were uploaded to the Applicant Profile prior to the opening of the
competition may not be available when e-snaps opens. If not, Project Applicants need to
reattach them.
The instructions for uploading and deleting an attachment are the same for all screens. The steps are
provided for the code of conduct on the next page and can be applied to the other attachments.
A screenshot has been provided for each attachment screen and the accompanying attachment details
screen.
NOTE:
The "No Input Required" status on the Submission Summary indicates that additional
information for that screen is not required for the applicant to proceed to the next step in
e-snaps. In the context of this navigational guide, the Project Applicant may proceed to
the next steps in the process of reviewing the Project Applicant Profile. HUD, however,
may require the item prior to the awarding of program funds.
Project Applicant Profile
28
HUD Form 2880
HUD Form 2880 (Applicant/Recipient Disclosure/Initial Report) is incorporated both into the Project
Applicant Profile and the individual Project Applications (new, renewal, CoC Planning, and UFA Costs). It
is no longer uploaded as an attachment.
Due to the complexity of the form, a separate resource provides instructions on completing the HUD Form
2880 in both the Project Applicant Profile and the Project Applications (new, renewal, CoC Planning, and
UFA Costs).
Refer to the following resource: https://www.hudexchange.info/resource/5595/how-to-complete-the-hud-
form-2880-in-e-snaps/.
The 2880 is divided into three parts; therefore, the referenced resource is organized as follows:
The 2880 in the Project Applicant Profile
o Part I
o Part II
o Part III
The 2880 in the Project Applications
o Part I
o Part II
o Part III

Code of Conduct
HUD must have a copy of the organization's Code of Conduct. The e-snaps system, however, does not
require that the document be attached in the Applicant Profile in order for the applicant to proceed from
the Applicant Profile to the next steps in the CoC Program Competition process.
An applicant that has a name listed at HUD's website
www.hud.gov/offices/adm/grants/codeofconduct/cconduct.cfm is not required to submit another
copy in e-snaps, unless the information has been revised. Due to non-compliance with 2 CFR
part 200, many Code of Conducts were removed from the site.
If you are uncertain about whether you need to upload the Code of Conduct document, you are
encouraged to upload it anyway. Attach the first five (5) pages of the Code of Conduct.
NOTE:
To delete an uploaded attachment.
