MCoC Notice of Funding Opportunity - FY2025

UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE: The FY25 CoC Program Competition is on hiatus and the MCoC is not currently accepting applications. This decision was made in response to the notification released by HUD on Monday, December 18, 2025. On this date, HUD removed the FY25 NOFO from the grants.gov website and subsequently posted the following message on its FY25 NOFO competition webpage, linked here and copied below: 

FY 25 COC NOFO Update

"The Department has withdrawn a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) with respect to the Continuum of Care (CoC) grant program.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."

Please continue to check this website, as well as your email inboxes for further updates on the FY25 Competition. We will continue to send out information as it becomes available. In the meantime, please avail yourselves to the resources below that were prepared for the first issue of the FY25 Competition, while some of the guidance, application materials, and scoring tools may change upon a re-release, they may be useful as points of reference to guide you in your project planning during the interim.
