Update on CoC Program NOFO
On December 8, 2025, HUD withdrew the 2025 CoC program NOFO. On January 8 and 9, 2026, HUD circulated updates via the SNAPS listserv indicating that it was reposting the FY 2024–25 CoC NOFO.
The information below reflects what HUD has shared so far and is intended to highlight what is currently most relevant for renewal projects. We expect additional details and clarification to emerge and some elements may be refined as HUD issues further guidance.
Key Dates
- FY24-25 NOFO reopens: January 9, 2026
- e-snaps opens: January 16, 2026
- Application deadline: February 9, 2026
- Awards anticipated by: March 2026
What This Means for Renewal Projects
Renewal projects that are not being reallocated or replaced are not expected to submit a renewal application, based on current guidance.
HUD has indicated that if renewal projects confirm in writing that they do not intend to reallocate or replace their award, then HUD may begin reviewing these renewals before February 9. However, the exact process and responsible party have not yet been specified.
To help avoid delays, renewal projects should ensure that APRs, audit reports, and other required grant materials are current and submitted, consistent with grant agreement requirements.
What to Expect Next
We are in the process of determining how the renewal confirmation process will work. Please expect an update in the coming days. Thank you for your patience as we work to ensure clarity and consistency for all applications.
