HUD CoC Competition 2025
The Continuum of Care (CoC) Program is designed to promote communitywide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness; provide funding for efforts by nonprofit providers, and State and local governments to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing the trauma and dislocation caused to homeless individuals, families, and communities by homelessness; promote access to and effect utilization of mainstream programs by homeless individuals and families; and optimize self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
UPDATE
We wanted to provide an update that was just shared by HUD, which you can also find on their website at - https://www.hud.gov/hud-partners/community-coc#coc-1.
FY 25 COC NOFO Update
The Department has withdrawn a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) with respect to the Continuum of Care (CoC) grant program. This withdrawal will allow the Department to make appropriate revisions to the NOFO, and the Department intends to do so. In the previous FY 24-25 NOFO, the Department reserved the right to make changes to the NOFO instead of processing renewals for a variety of reasons, including to accommodate a new CoC or Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP) priority or new funding source. The Department still intends to exercise this discretion and make changes to the previously issued CoC NOFO to account for new priorities. HUD anticipates reissuing a modified NOFO well in advance of the deadline for obligation of available Fiscal Year 2025 funds.
We have had no other correspondence from HUD at this time, so we are unaware of any additional information or steps that need to be taken. As we have more information, we will share it with the Board. We will also share this with our overall mailing list and update our website as well.
Please note, until we have further information, we will continue with our original competition timeline. Thank you all for your support during this process.
