Opportunity Summary:
The Continuum of Care (CoC) Homeless Assistance Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) designed to reduce homelessness within Continuum of Care communities. Its central aim is to help individuals and families experiencing homelessness move toward self-sufficiency and stable, permanent housing. HUD emphasizes that CoCs proposing projects that maintain effective, proven interventions while also advancing HUDs national homelessness goals will score more competitively during the review process, meaning applicants are incentivized to show both strong performance and alignment with federal priorities.
This opportunity was issued under Funding Opportunity Number FR-5415-N-17, titled "Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance Program," and was originally posted on September 20, 2010. HUD later issued a technical correction (FR-5415-C-17) to fix Appendix A of the original Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA), specifically the list of counties defined as rural for FY2010 selection criteria. Importantly, that correction did not change the application due date, which remained November 18, 2010. The funding instrument is a grant, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which can lower barriers for applicants that may not have access to non-federal matching funds.
HUD estimated total funding for this competition at approximately $1.68 billion, reflecting a large national investment intended to support a range of homelessness assistance strategies under the CoC framework. While the listing notes eligible applicants generally as "Others (see text)," the detailed eligibility varies by program component. For Supportive Housing, eligible applicants include states, units of general local government, special purpose units of government such as public housing agencies (PHAs), private nonprofit organizations, and community mental health centers that are public nonprofit organizations. For Shelter Plus Care, eligible applicants include states, units of general local government, and PHAs. For Section 8 Single Room Occupancy (SRO) projects, eligible applicants include PHAs and private nonprofit organizations. HUD directs applicants to consult the NOFA chart for the precise eligibility rules and distinctions across components, which is critical because the allowable applicant type depends on the specific project model being proposed.
Applications and related materials were handled through HUDs systems, with the HUD eSNAPS web page referenced as the central access point. For support, HUD provided assistance through the NOFA Information Center at 1-800-483-8929, and also listed the federal relay service at 1-800-877-8339 for applicants who are hearing or speech impaired. The opportunity was archived on November 19, 2010, indicating the competition cycle had closed, but the description and structure remain useful as a reference for understanding how HUDs CoC funding rounds are typically framed, scored, and administered.
