2017ACCH Rank and Review Application
Enclosed you will find the 2017 Rank and Review Application. The application isupdated annually by theACCH NOFACommittee, using membership feedback, to better align with and reflect the priorities within the Continuum. The 2017application, using a 185 point scale, is divided in four (4) sections (A-D):
Section A: Project Information: This section is intended to serve as a face sheet to give the reviewer background information on the project. This section is not a scored section.
Section B: Continuum Priorities and System Impact: This sectiondemonstrateshow the project is working within the system to serve the community’s needs and the impact the project has on the system. HUD is looking at system performance and, as such, the Rank and Review tool should reflect this trend. This section will be scored on a scale of 64 points.
Section C: Project Performance Outcomes and System Impact: Systems Performance Measures will be critical in the measuring a community’s success in serving the homeless. HUD has developed system performance measures to assess the overall impact of a CoC’s homeless assistance efforts. The NOFA specifically states that CoC’s should be using these measures and analyzing how they can improve their system to achieve better performance. This section reflects the move away from “project only” performance to determine how the project is performing as part of a larger system. This section will be scored on a scale of 25 points.
Section D: Local Continuum Priorities: This section is comprised of a series of narratives that allow the project to demonstrate how they are serving local Continuum priorities. This section will be scored on a scale of 96 points.
The ACCH NOFA Committee is releasing this Rank and Review Application prior to the release of the NOFA to allow agencies more time to complete the application. Therefore, specific criteria noted within the NOFA that is required in the Rank and Review Process will be incorporated in the Rank and Review interviews.
