Active funding OPPORTUNITIES
2021 HUD Competition
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has released a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), signifying the beginning of a funding competition among approximately 450 Continuums of Care (CoC), the community stakeholder groups that guide local responses to homelessness. The 2021 CoC NOFO was released on August 18, 2021, opening the competition making available approximately $2.7 billion nationally to serve people experiencing homelessness. The information in the NOFO sets forth the competition rules and processes for 2021.
The CoC Program (24 CFR part 578) is designed to promote a community-wide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness; to provide funding for efforts by nonprofit providers, states, Indian Tribes or tribally designated housing entities (as defined in section 4 of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (25 U.S.C. 4103) (TDHEs)), and local governments to quickly rehouse homeless individuals, families, persons fleeing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, and youth while minimizing the trauma and dislocation caused by homelessness; to promote access to and effective utilization of mainstream programs by homeless individuals and families; and to optimize self-sufficiency among those experiencing homelessness. Before the application is submitted to HUD, the CoC is required to hold a local competition to determine which projects will be included in the consolidated application, along with their relative priority.
The results of the local competition dictate which projects the CoC will seek to fund. This summary includes the highlights of the FY 2021 CoC NOFO. New or revised policies relating to the FY 2021 CoC Program Competition are indicated as **NEW IN 2021** and **REVISED IN 2021**, respectively. Additional information about project application requirements and standards will be available locally. Details about anything in this summary can be found in the NOFO, available at:
