FY2026 HUD Notice of Funding Opportunity
FY2026 HUD Notice of Funding Opportunity for Continuum of Care Program -- RELEASED June 1
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has released the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program for FFY2026. You can find the NOFO details here: https://www.grants.gov/search-results-detail/361999 (click on Related Documents to find link to full NOFO); I have also attached the NOFO as a PDF.
Our next step is to finalize a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the local competition, based on priorities and terms outlined in the NOFO, as well as local community priorities and opportunities.
We plan to issue the RFP for the local competition by June 16. We will hold two information sessions for those interested in applying and/or learning more about this opportunity:
Information Session #1 Thursday, June 18, 9:00 - 10:00 Meeting Link June 18 Session
Information Session #2 Monday June 22, 2:00 - 3:00 Meeting Link for June 22 Session
If you will or may submit a project application for the local competition, you can prepare now by confirming your organization's SAM registration is up to date and that you have an active and accurate organizational account in e-snaps — HUD's application portal. Please note: your organization's name must be entered exactly the same for SAM and e-snaps — make sure you enter the same words, spelling, punctuation, capitalization, etc.
We will continue to share information and updates about this process over the coming weeks.
