As we continue to wait on the 2026 CoC Project Applications being open and available in e-snaps, we have determined that another extension of due dates for submission of Project Applications in e-snaps is warranted. See below for new due dates for the 2026 CoC Montana Local NOFO Competition.

We understand that these changes in due dates can cause anxiety and frustration. With the uncertainty of not knowing when HUD will open e-snaps, we continue to do our best to find a balance between giving you as applicants as much time as possible and working within our capacity to meet HUD’s timeline requirements.
