HUD Continuum of Care (CoC) Program

The Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) is the largest federal program dedicated to ending homelessness in the United States, distributing approximately $3 billion annually to local communities. Administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the CoC Program funds a wide range of housing and supportive service interventions for individuals and families experiencing homelessness, including those fleeing domestic violence. The CoC Program supports several project types: permanent supportive housing (PSH), which combines long-term housing with wraparound supportive services for chronically homeless individuals; rapid re-housing (RRH), which provides short-term rental assistance to quickly move people out of homelessness; transitional housing (TH) for populations that benefit from structured, time-limited residential programs; supportive services only (SSO) projects that connect people with housing search, case management, and employment services; and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), the data infrastructure that tracks homelessness across communities. A Continuum of Care is a local or regional planning body that coordinates housing and service funding for homeless families and individuals. There are approximately 400 CoCs across the country, each responsible for developing a coordinated community plan to address homelessness. Each CoC designates a single Collaborative Applicant — typically a local government, planning commission, or nonprofit — to submit the consolidated application to HUD on behalf of all project applicants within the CoC geography. The annual CoC Program Competition is one of the most significant federal grant competitions. HUD scores applications based on system performance measures including the rate of exits to permanent housing, returns to homelessness, length of time homeless, and the community's progress toward reducing overall homelessness. Communities must demonstrate coordinated entry systems, strategic use of Housing First approaches, and efforts to reduce unsheltered homelessness. New project applications compete against renewal projects, and HUD uses a tiered funding structure that protects renewal funding while creating a competitive process for new and reallocated projects. The Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is typically published in late spring with applications due in late summer or early fall.
