FY 2025 Continuum of Care (CoC) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO)
UPDATE 12/20/25: HUD released a revised 2025 CoC NOFO for public review but will not implement or enforce it while the preliminary injunction remains in place; the Metro Denver CoC is continuing its local process as planned and will share additional guidance as federal direction develops.
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).
MDHI will update this page regularly as HUD releases additional guidance. Last updated December 20, 2025.

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.
Returning applicants may have the option to import prior application responses once renewal opportunities open in e-snaps (pending HUD confirmation).
