The following is the LA-507 Continuum of Care's approved Consolidated Application for 2024.
FY 2026 Continuum of Care Competition and YHDP Notice of Funding Opportunity
The 2026 Continuum of Care (CoC) Competition Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is now available at grants.gov.
The NOFO makes available $4.04 billion to address homelessness by:
Investing in recovery and self-sufficiency:
This record level of funding is available to communities across the nation to address the root causes of homelessness.
HUD will support organizations that facilitate treatment and recovery and prohibits funding the widespread use of illicit drugs and distribution of paraphernalia. The status quo perpetuates addiction in taxpayer-funded homelessness assistance programs in violation of Federal law.
HUD is making resources available for housing assistance paired with wraparound services to advance recovery and self-sufficiency for homeless Americans. This includes a $1.3 billion investment in new projects, with a priority for Transitional Housing and Supportive Service projects.
Advancing outcomes through competition:
This is the most competitive funding opportunity in the history of the CoC program.
By returning the program’s focus to solutions and performance, this NOFO requires CoC recipients to scrutinize and prioritize the most successful projects rather than automatically renewing funding to failed providers.
Rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse:
To better steward American tax dollars, this NOFO ties funding to performance. This ends a lack of program accountability that has led to waste, fraud, and abuse instead of providing assistance to homeless individuals.
HUD encourages CoCs to expand their pool of providers, including high-performing faith-based providers when appropriate, who can deliver outcomes in line with the priorities above and in this NOFO.
HUD also encourages organizations that are passionate about these priorities who have not previously received CoC funding to participate with their local CoC.
