OVERVIEW
Each year, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) offers a national competitive funding opportunity to Continuums of Care (CoCs) working to end homelessness.
The CoC Program (24 CFR part 578):
- Promotes community-wide commitment to ending homelessness
- Provides funding for nonprofit providers, states, and local governments to quickly re-house homeless individuals, youth, families, and persons fleeing domestic/dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking
- Promotes access to and effective utilization of mainstream programs
- Optimizes self-sufficiency among those experiencing homelessness

GRANT UPDATE
On 7/3/25, HUD announced:
“HUD intends to publish a NOFO for 2025 Continuum of Care (CoC) awards. HUD invites CoCs to prepare for an application focused on treatment and recovery, reducing unsheltered homelessness, reducing returns to homelessness, and increasing the earned income of participants.
The NOFO will seek to provide opportunities for new types of projects including street outreach and transitional housing programs. HUD encourages CoCs to evaluate the effectiveness of their projects at contributing to the community-wide goals above and to ensure that the most effective partners, including faith-based organizations, are involved.”
As of 7/7/25, the new NOFO has not yet been released and the CoC Program Competition page is currently down.
