Continuum of Care Funding Opportunities
Each year, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awards funding to Continuums of Care (CoC) through a competitive application process. Each CoC must designate a “collaborative applicant” to submit applications to HUD on behalf of the entire CoC.
The Coalition for the Homeless as the collaborative applicant for the Louisville/Jefferson County CoC, is responsible for coordinating local competitions and submitting a Consolidated Application (per funding opportunity) to HUD on behalf of the CoC. Individual projects requesting funding, both new and renewal, submit information directly to the Coalition for the Homeless.
A Consolidated Application consists of three parts:
- a CoC Application completed by the Coalition for the Homeless responding to questions relating to system-wide initiatives and performance;
- individual project applications;
- and a “priority listing” of projects in rank order based on selection criteria set by the Louisville/Jefferson County CoC Board of Directors.
The FY25 Continuum of Care Funding Competition was opened by HUD on November 13, 2025. Additional information, including the full Notice of Funding Opportunity, is available here.
As of Tuesday, November 25, 2025 the Louisville/Jefferson County Continuum of Care officially began accepting applications for the 2025 CoC NOFO.
Please direct any questions to Brandi Scott at bscott@louhomeless.org.
2025 Continuum of Care Annual Funding Competition Information
Applicants applying under the 2025 CoC NOFO must submit completed project applications, including for renewal projects and new projects, via HUD’s online application platform known as e-snaps.
Submitted applications will go to the Coalition for the Homeless for review and scoring and can be returned for additional edits. If selected through the local competition, the Coalition for the Homeless will submit your final application on your behalf to HUD by HUD’s final deadline of January 14, 2026.
Please see the HUD Continuum of Care Program Competition landing page for e-snaps guidance and technical resources. Note: You must click on FY 2025 Continuum of Care Competition for materials to be visible.
In addition to the e-snaps application, additional documents are required for project scoring and ranking. Please see this guide to scoring and checklist of documents and submission deadlines. Full details are below.
