FY 2025 CoC NOFO Program Competition
The Continuum of Care (CoC) program promotes a community-wide commitment to ending homelessness. The program provides funding to nonprofit providers and state and local governments to quickly rehouse individuals and families experiencing homelessness while minimizing the impacts of trauma and dislocation. The program also promotes self-sufficiency and access to mainstream programs by individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
HUD's Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) can be found on the grants.gov website and on the HUD website.
Local CoC NOFO Competition Process & Submission Requirements
All project applications are due by Friday, December 12, 2025, at 5:00 pm EST and must be submitted via the Neighborly portal.
The Baltimore City CoC invites new and renewal proposals, including proposals from entities that have not previously received funding.
We encourage all applicants to create an account, log into Neighborly before the final deadline of Friday, December 12, 2025, and add two points of contact for your organization.
Please have an authorized individual at your agency upload all application materials to Neighborly once completed; the authorized individual will then be prompted to certify and submit the application. Neighborly will send an automated message once your application has been received.
