HUD CoC Program NOFO

To promote a community-wide goal to ending homelessness, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awards funding to projects located in the Pikes Peak Continuum of Care (PPCoC) region through the Continuum of Care (CoC) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). In 2024, the HUD CoC Program funded more than $3.6 million for local programs that provide permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, and support key CoC infrastructure including HMIS, coordinated entry, and CoC planning.

SPECIAL UPDATE: HUD Reopens FY24-25 NOFO for Renewals until February 9

On January 9, 2026, HUD opened the FY24-25 CoC NOFO in response to a preliminary court order to take “all steps necessary to process eligible renewals for FY 2025 CoC funding pursuant to the FY24-25 NOFO but excluding the obligation of funding and the granting of any specific renewals.” HUD has stated it will follow all applicable procedures laid out in the FY24-25 CoC NOFO, including conducting all applicable reviews, but excluding, pursuant to the Court’s Order, “the obligation of funding and the granting of any specific awards,” and anticipates being able to select awards no later than late March 2026. Read more from HUD on the FY2-25 NOFO here.

Projects that were awarded FY 2024 funds and are not being reallocated or replaced by the CoC may be eligible for selection for FY 2025 funds using their FY 2024 application submission and are not required to apply for renewal for FY 2025 funds in e-SNAPS.

The FY24-25 NOFO does not make additional funding available specifically for new projects outside of CoC reallocation. The Pikes Peak CoC is making no reallocations this competition cycle and as such, no new project applications will be accepted by the Pikes Peak CoC for application under the FY24-25 NOFO.

New funding for projects that align with HUD’s stated policy priorities, including transitional housing and street outreach, is anticipated to be made available for application in future CoC competitions, and strongly encourage organizations interested in applying for CoC funding to read the FY25 NOFO HUD intends to publish if/when no longer bound by court order to learn more about HUD expectations and conditions for funding and connect with the PPCoC Rating & Prioritization Committee about your project.

FY2025 Continuum of Care Program NOFO

Each year, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) releases the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). In Federal Fiscal Year (FY) 2024, the Pikes Peak CoC (CO-504) received $3.6 million to support permanent housing, supportive services, and CoC infrastructure projects like HMIS and coordinated entry.

On November 13, 2025, HUD released the FY2025 CoC Program NOFO. The FY2025 CoC NOFO contains critical changes to HUD funding priorities and NOFO processes. Review summaries of these changes written by the National Alliance to End Homelessness and HUD technical assistance provider Homebase.

This year, the Pikes Peak CoC may request up to $5,064,059 in funding for eligible new and renewal projects that meet all qualifications and criteria outlined in the FY2025 CoC Program NOFO. However, HUD imposed a 30% cap of a CoC’s annual renewal demand (ARD) on permanent housing funding requests. This means that the Pikes Peak CoC must cut more than $2.1 million in funding to permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing programs in El Paso County and reallocate it to other eligible project types, including transitional housing and supportive services.

The Pikes Peak Continuum of Care invites applications from organizations that have not previously received CoC funding. It is expected that all agencies applying for new or renewal project funding read the CoC NOFO and available resources at the HUD website.
