2025 HUD Continuum of Care Notice of Funding Opportunity
The Annual Continuum of Care (CoC) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is Now Available
This year’s NOFO includes significant changes that we are continuing to analyze from many different perspectives. Please read the information below carefully, and we strongly encourage all current and interested CoC providers to review the full NOFO. You can find it on grants.gov.
The BoS CoC is eligible for $4,083,405 in funding this year. Although the total available funding has increased, HUD has substantially changed program models, scoring, and overall priorities for awarding CoC funds. Below are the most important updates.
Funding Structure
- Permanent Housing (PSH and RRH) programs can make up no more than 30% of the Annual Renewal Demand (ARD).
- 30% of the BoS ARD = $1,225,022
- Tier 1 funding has decreased from 90% to 30%.
- These funds are not dependent on the CoC’s overall score and have historically been renewed.
- Tier 2 funding has increased from 10% to 70%.
- These funds are dependent on the CoC’s score and will compete with projects nationally
Tier 2 Scoring (100 points total)
- 50 points – CoC Score
- 40 points – Rating and Ranking
- 10 points – Service Participation
Eligible New Project Types
- Transitional Housing
- Supportive Services Only (Street Outreach, Coordinated Entry, Standalone)
- Rapid Rehousing
- Permanent Supportive Housing
If you plan to apply for any of these project types, please review the Project Quality Threshold starting on page 53 of the NOFO.
HUD’s priorities for the CoC Program can be found on pages 12-13 of the NOFO.
