FY 2025 Continuum of Care (CoC) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO)

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) released the FY 2025 Continuum of Care (CoC) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) on November 13, 2025. Metro Denver is eligible to apply for approximately $35 million in the upcoming Continuum of Care (CoC) Program competition. This allocation covers the following eligible activities: transitional housing (TH), permanent housing (PSH and RRH), street outreach, data and HMIS infrastructure, coordinated entry, CoC planning, and standalone supportive services only. Applicants should note a significant change in this year’s funding emphasis: there is a new focused emphasis on funding for street outreach and transitional housing projects. There is also reduced overall funding available for permanent housing projects (PSH and RRH).

The submission deadline for the CoC Application and CoC Priority List is January 14, 2026 at 8:00pm EST.

MDHI will update this page regularly as HUD releases additional guidance. Last updated November 25, 2025.

Project Applicants

We strongly encourage all project applicants to review the NOFO in full, as HUD has made significant changes to the FY 2025 NOFO, including program structure and available project types.

  • For New Project Applicants: Detailed instructions and criteria for submissions can be found in the full RFP document here. Project Applications are due to MDHI by December 12.

  • HUD has not yet released navigational guides, detailed instructions, or updated application materials. These will be posted on this page as soon as they are available.
