FY25 Continuum of Care
Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO)

CoC FY 25 NOFO Update

​

• HUD Withdrawal of the FY 25 CoC NOFO

  • HUD has officially withdrawn the previously issued CoC NOFO. HUD has stated that this withdrawal is intentional and will allow the Department to revise the NOFO to reflect new priorities, including potential adjustments related to CoC and YHDP goals and any new funding sources.

  • See notice here: Continuum of Care Program | HUD.gov / U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)

• Recent Court Proceedings in Rhode Island

  • Many of you may also be aware of the recent federal court proceedings that took today in Rhode Island related to the CoC Program that we were able to watch live on YouTube, where the proceedings raised broader questions about HUD’s CoC funding process, program administration, and the legal interpretation of certain CoC requirements.

In the original NOFO, HUD had already reserved the right to issue changes rather than process renewals, and they plan to exercise that discretion now. HUD has also shared that they anticipate reissuing a modified NOFO well in advance of the obligation deadline for Fiscal Year 2025 funds. At this stage, we will pause the NOFO competition until further notice. We will continue to track the situation closely and share relevant updates if any new guidance or expectations emerge from HUD or the courts. We will adjust our local CoC competition timeline as needed once HUD releases updated materials. Our suggestion is that you continue to identify and plan for how and what you will apply for. We know that something is still coming, and it is better to be prepared and shift later depending on what HUD releases next.
