SNAPS Announcement - The 2025 Continuum of Care (CoC) Competition Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO)
Editor’s Note: Please watch for local competition information at https://archcoc.org/continuum-of-care-coc
“The 2025 Continuum of Care (CoC) Competition Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is now available at grants.gov.
HUD is laser-focused on working with tribal, state and local communities to dramatically stop and reverse the crisis of increasing homelessness. Our responsibility is to help families and individuals experiencing homelessness as well as American taxpayers whose safety and use of public spaces is impacted by the crises of homelessness, addiction and mental illness.
This NOFO makes available $3.9 billion in awards and is the single largest Federal program to address homelessness. HUD intends to positively steward these valuable taxpayer resources by:
· Promoting treatment and recovery,
· Welcoming Transitional Housing and Supportive Services projects including street outreach,
· Increasing competition for grants in order to improve system efficiencies and to increase innovation,
· Measuring long-term meaningful outcomes such as increases in self-sufficiency and reduction in recidivism rates,
· Strengthening the role of local elected officials, law enforcement and the community leaders,
· Advancing public safety through thoughtful partnerships with law enforcement, and
· Increasing personal accountability through enhanced treatment requirements to combat the Fentanyl crisis.
HUD encourages CoCs to expand their pool of providers, including high-performing faith-based providers when appropriate, who can deliver outcomes in line with the priorities above and in this NOFO.
HUD also encourages organizations that are passionate about these priorities who have not previously received CoC funding to participate with their local CoC. In the case that high-quality service providers are denied access to CoC funding, these agencies are encouraged to consider pursuing the Solo Application process that is described in this NOFO and at HUD.gov.
Further, HUD reminds applicants that recipients of Federal housing and homelessness assistance may not operate drug injection sites or “safe consumption sites,” knowingly distribute drug paraphernalia, or permit the use or distribution of illicit drugs on property under their control (EO 14321 Sec. 5(c)). HUD may refer allegations of any such operations or distributions to the Department of Justice for further action, potentially including prosecution for any violations of 21 U.S.C. § 856.
