Opportunity Information: Apply for FR 6100 N 25
The Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the Fiscal Year 2017 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program Competition is a federal discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) intended to help communities prevent and end homelessness through coordinated, community-wide strategies. The program is governed by the CoC Program regulations at 24 CFR part 578 and focuses on moving people experiencing homelessness into stable housing as quickly as possible while reducing the disruption and harm that homelessness causes. It supports work that helps homeless individuals and families, people fleeing domestic violence, and youth obtain housing and connect to the services and mainstream benefits they need to remain housed and improve long-term stability and self-sufficiency.
This funding opportunity falls under the Housing activity category and is listed under CFDA number 14.267. The instrument is a grant, and the competition is categorized as discretionary funding, meaning awards are made competitively based on the NOFA requirements and scoring criteria rather than by formula allocation. HUD’s overall intent is to strengthen local Continuum of Care systems so communities can coordinate outreach, housing placement, and supportive services, and so people experiencing homelessness can access and effectively use mainstream programs that may include public benefits, healthcare, behavioral health services, employment supports, and other community resources.
Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, and nonprofit organizations that have IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). These are the types of entities that typically participate in local homelessness response systems and can carry out housing and service activities aligned with CoC priorities, including rapid re-housing and other interventions designed to reduce the length of time people remain homeless and to prevent returns to homelessness.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number FR 6100 N 25 and a posted creation date of July 14, 2017. The original application closing date was September 28, 2017, with a firm electronic submission deadline of no later than 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The stated award ceiling is $3,500,000, indicating the maximum amount that could be awarded per grant under this competition. HUD anticipated making a very large number of awards overall, with expected awards listed at 8,000, reflecting the nationwide scale of the Continuum of Care competition and the many projects and renewals that are typically funded across communities.
In practical terms, this NOFA is about funding local homelessness response efforts that emphasize rapid housing placement, trauma-informed approaches that minimize dislocation, and stronger integration with mainstream systems so that housing is paired with the right supports. The CoC Program’s overarching goal in this competition is to help communities build and sustain coordinated approaches that reduce homelessness, improve access to services and benefits, and support people in achieving and maintaining stable housing.Apply for FR 6100 N 25
