SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Fiscal Year 2010 SNAPS Technical 
Assistance program was designed to provide technical assistance for 
homeless programs in the Office of Special Needs Assistance Programs 
through the selection of technical assistance (TA) providers for this 
program.
    The competition was announced in the SNAPS-TA NOFA published 
October 10, 2010 (FR-5415-N-31) and closed on November 22, 2010. The 
NOFA allowed for up to $16.3 million for technical assistance. 
Approximately $9.8 million was available under HUD McKinney-Vento 
Technical Assistance for homeless assistance programs, Homeless 
Management Information System (HMIS) data collection, reporting and 
research, including the Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR) TA 
activities and approximately $1.2 million under the American Recovery

Program (HPRP) TA activities. Collectively they are referred to as the 
SNAPS Technical Assistance Program (SNAPS-TA). Additional funds 
including approximately $6.5 million for McKinney-Vento homeless
