Opportunity Information: Apply for FR 6500 N 25S

The Continuum of Care Supplemental to Address Unsheltered and Rural Homelessness is a discretionary grant opportunity from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program, authorized through 24 CFR part 578. The program is built around a community-wide approach to ending homelessness by funding coordinated local and regional strategies that move people out of homelessness as quickly and safely as possible. It emphasizes not only getting individuals and families housed, but doing so in ways that reduce the trauma and instability that often come with homelessness, while also strengthening connections to mainstream public systems and benefits so people can maintain housing over time.

This particular solicitation is a Special Notice of Funding Opportunity (Special NOFO) focused specifically on unsheltered homelessness and homelessness in rural areas. The central purpose is to inject new resources into communities so they can better serve people who are highly vulnerable and who have experienced unsheltered homelessness, often for long periods or repeatedly. In practice, that focus typically means prioritizing people living in places not meant for human habitation and tailoring responses to the realities of rural regions where services are spread out, transportation is limited, and traditional shelter capacity may be scarce.

Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, and other eligible entities as described in the NOFOs additional eligibility guidance. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is community development. The opportunity is listed under CFDA number 14.267 (a HUD CoC program listing).

From the published opportunity details, HUD anticipated making approximately 125 awards, with an award ceiling of up to $60,000,000. The funding opportunity number is FR 6500 N 25S. The notice was created on June 22, 2022, and the original application deadline was October 20, 2022, with electronic submissions due no later than 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Overall, the opportunity is aimed at strengthening local homeless response systems by expanding targeted rehousing and supportive interventions for people most at risk, particularly those living unsheltered and those in rural communities where homelessness is often harder to reach and easier to overlook.
