The FY 2019 CoC Program Competition NOFA is now open!   

The Northeast Minnesota Continuum of Care (Aitkin, Carlton, Cook, Itasca, Koochiching, and Lake Counties) is seeking project applicants for FY 2019 funding via the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Continuum of Care Program competition. HUD released its Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for FY2019 Continuum of Care Program Competition (FR-600-N-25) on July 03, 2019.

The Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (24 CFR part 578) is designed to promote a community-wide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness; to provide funding for efforts by nonprofit providers, states, and local governments to quickly rehouse homeless individuals, families, persons fleeing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, and youth while minimizing the trauma and dislocation caused by homelessness; to promote access to and effective utilization of mainstream programs by homeless individuals and families; and to optimize self-sufficiency among those experiencing homelessness.

Nationwide, funding of up to $2.3 billion is available through the HUD CoC Program NOFA, including up to $50 million for Domestic Violence (DV) bonus projects. Per HUD guidelines, the Northeast CoC is eligible to apply for $447,383 for existing renewal projects and new projects created through reallocation. This amount is called the CoC’s Annual Renewal Demand (ARD). The CoC is also eligible to apply for approximately $13,421 for CoC planning, $22,369 in CoC bonus funds for new projects to serve any eligible population, and approximately $50,000 in bonus funding specifically to serve survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking that are defined as homeless under 24 CFR578.3.
