The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) issued its FY 2026 Continuum of Care Competition and Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program Grants NOFO (FY 2026 CoC NOFO) on June 1, 2026.
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, Indian Tribes or tribally designated housing entities (as defined in section 4 of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self Determination Act of 1996 (25 U.S.C. 4103) (TDHEs), 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.
In response to the CoC NOFO, Tehama County Continuum of Care (Tehama CoC) will 1) develop the collaborative application, 2) conduct a local selection process by which projects may request CoC Program funds, and 3) complete and submit the Consolidated CoC Application, consisting of the collaborative application, Project Applications selected through the local process, and the Priority Listing, which formally sets forth the CoC’s determinations regarding rating and ranking of Project Applications selected for inclusion.
