FY 2022 CoC NOFO Program Competition

The Fiscal Year 2022 Continuum of Care (CoC) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) Program Competition is now closed.

The Continuum of Care (CoC) program promotes community-wide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness. The program provides funding for efforts by nonprofit providers and state and local governments to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing the trauma and dislocation caused to homeless individuals, families, and communities by homelessness. The program promotes access to and effects utilization of mainstream programs by homeless individuals and families. The program optimizes self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing homelessness.

HUD’s Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) can be found on the Grants.gov website.
