CoC Announces the HUD COCBUILDS Permanent Supportive Housing Application
CoC Builds Notice of Funding Opportunity
HUD published the Continuum of Care (CoC) Builds (CoCBuilds) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) of approximately $175,000,000 available through this NOFO. HUD expects to make approximately 25 awards from the funds available under this NOFO. This NOFO targets efforts within CoC geographic areas to address and reduce persons experiencing homelessness by adding new units of permanent supportive housing (PSH) through new construction, acquisition, or rehabilitation through one-time CoC Builds awards under the CoC Program.
Through the CoC Builds NOFO, HUD is encouraging CoCs to leverage funds provided for construction, acquisition, or rehabilitation of new PSH units with other funding sources to maximize the amount of housing that can directed to meeting the needs of individuals and families experiencing homelessness. PSH is permanent housing in which supportive services are provided to assist individuals with a disability and families where at least one household member has a disability and is experiencing homelessness to live independently. Additionally, no more than 20 percent of each award may be used for other eligible CoC Program activities associated with the PSH project (e.g., supportive services, operating costs (Section IV.G.3 of this NOFO)), and no more than 10 percent of an award may be used for project administration.
