Continuum of Care Program Competition | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Continuum of Care (CoC) Program Competition (Funding Opportunity Number FR-5600-N-41) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) focused on housing-related services aimed at ending homelessness. Listed under CFDA 14.267 (Continuum of Care Program), this competition supports community-wide strategies that help people experiencing homelessness move quickly into stable housing, reduce the disruption and harm caused by homelessness, connect households to mainstream benefits and services, and improve long-term self-sufficiency. In practice, the program is built around coordinated local planning and a shared commitment across providers and public agencies, rather than isolated projects operating on their own.

A core feature of this opportunity is that it is organized around a Continuum of Care, meaning a defined local or regional network that coordinates homelessness response efforts. To participate, a CoC must have had its FY2012 CoC Registration approved by HUD during the FY2012 CoC Registration process. Each registered CoC is required to designate a Collaborative Applicant, which is the entity responsible for submitting the CoC Consolidated Application on behalf of the entire CoC. HUD uses its e-snaps system for submission, and the notice makes clear that a Collaborative Applicant cannot access or submit the CoC Consolidated Application in e-snaps unless the CoC has an approved registration.

The competition also addresses how geographic areas and renewal projects are handled if they were left out during registration. If an area containing projects eligible for renewal was not claimed by any CoC with an approved registration, a contiguous CoC or the Balance of State CoC may request, in writing, that HUD amend its registration and Grants Inventory Worksheet (GIW) to include that unclaimed area and the renewal projects. Similarly, if a CoC had an approved registration but accidentally omitted a project from its GIW, the CoC may also request an amendment in writing. These provisions are important because the GIW is a key document that reflects which projects are considered part of the CoC inventory and which are positioned to seek renewal funding through the competition.

Eligibility is structured in two layers: the CoC-level submission through the Collaborative Applicant and the individual project applicants. The announcement notes that eligible project applicants are identified in Section III.A of the full notice, and that eligibility may include nonprofit providers, state and local governments, and other entities as defined in the detailed program requirements. The published eligibility field lists "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," signaling that applicants need to rely on the full announcement language for precise eligibility categories and any limitations tied to applicant type or project model.

From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity uses the grant funding instrument, does not require cost sharing or matching, and was posted on November 9, 2012, with a closing date of January 18, 2013 (archived January 19, 2013). While those dates reflect the specific FY2012 competition cycle, the summary captures the structure typical of CoC competitions: HUD funds locally coordinated portfolios of homelessness assistance projects that collectively aim to reduce homelessness, rapidly rehouse people, and strengthen connections to mainstream systems that support stability over time.

For applicants and communities seeking more detailed instructions, forms, and official guidance, HUD directed users to the Homelessness Resource Exchange, and provided support through the e-snaps Virtual Help Desk for anyone unable to access the full announcement electronically or encountering technical issues with the submission system.
