About the Continuum of Care Notice Of Funding Opportunity Program
The Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Act of 2009 (HEARTH Act) amended the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. Among other changes, the HEARTH Act consolidated the three separate McKinney-Vento homeless assistance programs (Supportive Housing program, Shelter Plus Care program, and Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation SRO program) into a single grant program known as the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program.
The CoC Program is designed to assist individuals (including unaccompanied youth) and families experiencing homelessness and to provide the services needed to help them move into transitional and permanent housing, with the goal of long-term stability. More broadly, the program is designed to promote community-wide planning and strategic use of resources to address homelessness; improve coordination and integration with mainstream resources and other programs targeted to people experiencing homelessness; improve data collection and performance measurement; and allow each community to tailor its program to the particular strengths and challenges within that community.
Each year, HUD awards CoC Program funding competitively to nonprofit organizations, States, and/or units of general purpose local governments, collectively known as recipients. In turn, recipients may contract or subgrant with other organizations or government entities, known as subrecipients, to carry out the grant’s day-to-day program operations.
The Leadership Council approved the CoC Application for the FY2023 CoC Program Competition!

FY 2023 Consolidated CoC Application
FY2023 CoC Competition Information - Updated 09/28/2023
On July 5, 2023, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) published the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance Program.
The Coalition for Homeless Service Providers acts as the CoC Lead Agency, or Collaborative Applicant, and must develop a local application process, rank and review process, and timeline. This webpage will be updated with additional information as it becomes available.
If you have any questions about the NOFO process, please send them to the CHSP CoC Staff at grants@chsp.org, and our consultants with Focus Strategies, Hana Gossett (hana@focusstrategies.net) and Vanessa Fenley (vanessa@focusstrategies.net).

New Project Funding
The CoC is eligible to seek new funding for new CoC projects and projects specifically serving survivors of Domestic Violence.
Estimated New Project Funding Available*
Estimated Annual Renewal Demand | ~$5,419,534 |
Estimated CoC Bonus Funding | ~$379,367 |
Estimated DV Bonus Funding | ~$280,866 |
*We expect that HUD will release the official amount of funding available for CoC Bonus Funding and DV Bonus Funding at the end of July 2023. The above estimate for CoC Bonus Funding is based on the estimated Annual Renewal Demand for the Monterey and San Benito Counties CoC and the estimate for the DV Bonus Funding is based on the amount the CoC was eligible for in the 2022 Competition. These are both subject to either increase or decrease. Final amounts will be posted on this page and emailed to the CoC when HUD posts the CoC Estimated ARD report on the HUD CoC Competition Webpage.
