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.
As of Tuesday, November 25, 2025 the Louisville/Jefferson County Continuum of Care officially began accepting applications for the 2025 CoC Funding Competition.
Please see the FY25 Funding Competition Landing Page for more details and submission deadlines.
Organizations that have not previously received CoC Program funding, including faith based organizations, are encouraged to apply.
