2025 HUD CoC Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) – PAUSED
HUD has issued a notice that the FY25 NOFO has been withdrawn. For now, the local CoC competition will be paused pending a reissued NOFO.
Full message from the HUD CoC Competition website:
FY 25 COC NOFO Update
The Department has withdrawn a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) with respect to the Continuum of Care (CoC) grant program.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.

Local CoC Competition is paused pending a reissued NOFO or an official update from HUD.
