Cloudburst is supporting HUD's Office of Special Needs Assistance Programs (SNAPs) in their efforts to develop the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-housing Program (HPRP), a new program created out of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA).  Beginning in February 2009, Cloudburst is providing assistance to HUD and HPRP grantees on the development of program guidance and training materials; development of “what works” best practices documents on effective prevention and re-housing programs; supporting response to Q&A on the Notice; as well as other long-term program implementation support, training, and technical assistance. Additional support services under a new training and TA award will be provided to support the development of general Continuum of Care and homeless programs curricula and TA documentation; GIS analysis and development of grantee maps; provision of disaster technical assistance; as well as ongoing Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) technical assistance and support of efforts to standardize homeless reporting across the Federal government.
