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.
We previously accepted inquiries for new projects under the 2024/2025 NOFO. New project inquiries must have been submitted no later than Friday, July 19, 2024. Organizations that have not previously received CoC Program funding are encouraged to apply. If your agency is interested in applying for a new project in the FY24/25 CoC funding competition and did not submit a new project inquiry, please contact Brandi Scott.
As of Friday, August 23, 2024 the Louisville/Jefferson County Continuum of Care officially began accepting applications for the 2024/2025 CoC NOFO.
Please see the FY24/25 NOFO Landing Page for more information.
