HPSC News - 2025 Continuum of Care Funding Competition
UPDATE
HUD rescinded the previously posted FY 2025 CoC NOFO on December 8th. Language on the HUD CoC Program website indicates that HUD intends to revise and reissue the FY 2025 NOFO. We currently do not know HUD's timeline for the reissuance.
Due to this change we are pausing the local competition until HUD reposts a NOFO. Project applications are no longer due on 12/12.
HUD originally released the 2025 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) on November 13th. 2025. As we had anticipated, the competition represented a significant shift from previous years and introduces substantial structural and programmatic changes. Most notably, no more than 30% of a CoC’s Annual Renewal Demand was permitted to be used for permanent housing, including permanent supportive housing (PSH), rapid rehousing (RRH), and Joint Transitional Housing/Rapid Rehousing (TH-RRH).
Although we will not be accepting applications for new and renewal applications until we receive further guidance on the status of the competition, we ask that you continue to think through changes to existing programs in order to conform with the changes HUD previewed through the recently rescinded NOFO.
Completition Timeline
An updated timeline will be posted here once a new NOFO is resissued.
