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.
FY 2025 CoC Competition Information -
Updated 12/12/2025
NOTICE: The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) withdrew the 2025 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) on Monday, December 8, 2025 stating:
“The Department has withdrawn a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) with respect to the Continuum of Care (CoC) grant program.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.”
In light of the withdraw, CHSP has extended the local application deadline to December 22, 2025 by the end of the business day.
Further details regarding the local competition will be provided as it becomes available.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) published the 2025 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance Program on November 13, 2025.
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.
The Local Competition’s Rank & Review deliberations will generate our community’s preliminary Priority Listing for the FY2025 CoC Program Competition. The Leadership Council will vote to approve the Priority Listing on December 22, 2025.
