CoC FL-507  Consolidated Application to HUD – FY 2018 CoC Program

This Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) establishes the funding criteria for the FY 2017 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program. HUD is making available approximately $2 billion in Fiscal Year 2017 for the CoC Program. The CoC Program 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 re-house homeless individuals, families, persons fleeing domestic violence, 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.

The FY 2017 CoC Program Competition opened on July 14, 2017. The region’s application to HUD must be submitted by Thursday, September 28, 2017.  

As the collaborative applicant for the Central Florida Continuum of Care (CoC FL-507), the Homeless Services Network of Central Florida is responsible for preparing and submitting the region’s response to the NOFA (application to HUD).

2016 Regional Request for Applications (RFA) Final

(Published July 15, 2016)
Thank you for your interest in the 2016 Central Florida Continuum of Care application process. An Amended Request for Applications (RFA) is available below to provide guidance to interested parties on the application process.

• FINAL Regional Application for CoC Program Funding – This Final Application replaces the Interim Application published originally. The Final and Interim Applications are closely related. However, the Final Application includes additional items intended to ensure that information requested by HUD is captured, as well as modifications for the sake of clarity.
• Amended Request for Applications (RFA) – July 27, 2016 – Due to the fact that HUD has released some details related to its own application process later than originally anticipated when the CoC set its own internal application timeline, the RFA has been amended to remove the requirement that applications be submitted in Webgrants.  Completed applications may instead be emailed to hsngrants@hsncfl.org. The amendment also includes some related adjustments to the RFA timeline.  (This Amended RFA replaces the original RFA issued July 15.)
