Notice Of Funding Opportunity

NOFO

ABOUT THE CONTINUUM OF CARE (COC) PROGRAM COMPETITION

The FY Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (24 CFR part 578) is designed to promote a community-wide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness; to provide funding for efforts by nonprofit providers, states, and local governments to quickly rehouse homeless individuals, families, persons fleeing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, and youth while minimizing the trauma and dislocation caused by homelessness; to promote access to and effective utilization of mainstream programs by homeless individuals and families; and to optimize self-sufficiency among those experiencing homelessness.

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) establishes the funding criteria for the FY Continuum of Care (CoC) Program. Every year the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) releases a several billion dollars available to the CoC upon application. HUD may add to the total amount with any available funds that have been carried over or recaptured from previous fiscal years. Keep posted for the most update to information on the FY CoC Program Competition.

FY25-26 CoC Competition RFP Questions & Answers:

  • A: Agencies that are new and that have not had audits will need to provide a letter explaining the reason for lack of audit. 

  • A: This is up to the Evaluators.  Our task is to accept all apps that are eligible and have evaluators make determination. If a project straddles Tier 1 and 2, we will contact the agency to make sure that it is viable with just the Tier 1 funding.  If it can’t function unless fully funded, then the Evaluators may choose differently. Applicants do not determine the tiering; this is based on raw score from evaluators.
