2022 Continuum of Care (CoC)

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has released a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Continuum of Care Program Competition on August 1, 2022, opening the competition and making available approximately $2.794 billion nationally to serve people experiencing homelessness. The information in the NOFO sets forth the competition rules and processes for 2022, with the CoC national application due date of September 30, 2022. The NOFO is available online here. 2022 Continuum of Care (CoC) 2022 Continuum of Care (CoC) 2022 Continuum of Care (CoC) 2022 Continuum of Care (CoC)

A summary of the 2022 NOFO is also available here; it outlines what has changed from prior years and HUD's current priorities, as well as eligible project types, which may be helpful for new interested project applicants. The CoC invites and strongly encourages new projects in the community to consider applying for these funds.   

Eligible new project types for community organizations include:

• Permanent supportive housing
• Rapid rehousing 
• Joint transitional housing and rapid rehousing

The CoC competition happens in two phases:

• Local Competition 
  • Each CoC creates a local process to decide how projects applying for CoC funds in the community are prioritized for funding through a “local competition.”
  • Each project completes an application that is “reviewed and ranked” by a “non-conflicted” panel using scoring tools created and approved by the community. A priority list of projects is then generated.
• National Competition
  • Priority list is sent to HUD along with an application reflecting CoC data and work on homelessness, and the individual project applications. These documents together are referred to as the ‘consolidated application.’ This consolidated application then competes against other CoCs across the country for funds.

For interested new and renewal project applicants, a Technical Assistance Workshop was offered to train all applicants on how to apply for funds in the local competition and get their applications ready for submission for the national competition.   

To get the process started there was a mandatory virtual Technical Assistance (TA) Workshop on August 11, from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. for all renewal and new project applicants. This workshop provided attendees with an overview of the local application process, as well as instructions for completing the local project applications. 

Information will be provided about renewal project applications as well as applications for new projects through reallocation and/or Bonus funding. We encourage all organizations interested in applying for CoC funding to attend, including organizations that have not previously received CoC funding.
