FY2025 Continuum of Care (CoC) Competition and Youth Homeless Demonstration Program Grants NOFO

***12.08.2025 UPDATE***

The CoC NOFO appears to have been officially withdrawn. The language on the website reads as follows: (https://www.hud.gov/hud-partners/community-coc):

 The Department has withdrawn a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) with respect to the Continuum of Care (CoC) grant program. This withdrawal will allow the Department to make appropriate revisions to the NOFO, and the Department intends to do so. In the previous FY 24-25 NOFO, the Department reserved the right to make changes to the NOFO instead of processing renewals for a variety of reasons, including to accommodate a new CoC or Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP) priority or new funding source. The Department still intends to exercise this discretion and make changes to the previously issued CoC NOFO to account for new priorities. HUD anticipates reissuing a modified NOFO well in advance of the deadline for obligation of available Fiscal Year 2025 funds.

 Additionally, the Notice itself appears to have been deleted from grants.gov, making it unsearchable. As such, all deadlines and meetings related to the 2025 CoC NOFO are cancelled until further notice.

BACKGROUND

Each year, the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) solicits applications from non-profits and local units of government for the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program Competition. HUD issued a Notice of Funding Opportunity for FY25-26 on November 14, 2025 noting, “The Continuum of Care (CoC) Program 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, 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.”
