FY 2024 – FY 2025 Continuum of Care and YHDP Notice of Funding Opportunity
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Office of Special Needs Assistance Programs (SNAPS) has published the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 – FY 2025 Continuum of Care Competition and the Renewal or Replacement of Youth Homeless Demonstration Program grants. This 2-year Continuum of Care (CoC) Program NOFO is authorized by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 and includes an application submission deadline for FY 2024 funding and a deadline for FY 2025 funding.
The application and selection process for the FY 2024 funds awarded through this NOFO will proceed much like it has in prior-year competitions. However, CoCs are only required to submit one CoC application that will be applicable to both FY 2024 and FY 2025 funds. Additionally, projects that are awarded FY 2024 funds may be eligible for award of FY 2025 funds using their FY 2024 application submission and are not required to apply for renewal for FY 2025 funds. Projects that did not meet the eligibility criteria to renew in FY 2024 but are eligible for FY 2025 renewal funding must submit a renewal application by the FY 2025 application submission deadline established in the NOFO.
The House and Senate Committees on Appropriations expressed that for projects awarded for specific subpopulations (e.g., homeless youth or survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault or stalking), before funding for such projects may be reallocated to other populations, HUD must consult with relevant stakeholders. Therefore, in this NOFO, HUD requires funding reallocated from projects previously funded with YHDP or DV Bonus funding to be used for projects serving the same subpopulation and expanded the definition of reallocation to include DV Reallocation and the definition of YHDP Replacement to include YHDP Reallocation. HUD establishes these terms to distinguish between funding sources that must continue to serve the same populations of the projects being reallocated or, in the case of YHDP, replaced

Submission Deadline: Wednesday, October 30, 2024, at 8:00 PM EDT
The FY 2024/FY 2025 CoC Application, the FY 2024 CoC Priority Listing, and FY 2024 Project Applications should be available in e-snaps on August 1, 2024.
Collaborative Applicants
- For FY 2024 funds, the FY 2024/FY 2025 CoC Consolidated Application includes the FY 2024/FY 2025 CoC Application and the FY 2024 CoC Priority Listing that includes all project applications that will be submitted to HUD for FY 2024 funding. The CoC application and the priority listing are separate submissions in e-snaps; so, Collaborative Applicants must submit both parts of the FY 2024/FY 2025 CoC Consolidated Application by the FY 2024 application submission deadline for HUD to consider the FY 2024/FY 2025 CoC Consolidated Application to be complete.
- In FY 2025, Collaborative Applicants will be required to submit a FY 2025 Project Listing that includes all projects that were not awarded FY 2024 funds and are approved by the CoC to apply for FY 2025 funding.
- There are six Project Listings in the CoC Priority Listing; however, only the New and Renewal Project Listings require unique rank numbers. The remaining four Project Listings only require Collaborative Applicants to accept or reject project applications.
- The CoC Competition Report, and instructions on how to access the report, that includes data reported in the Homelessness Data Exchange (HDX) is available for use by Collaborative Applicants to complete portions of the FY 2024 – FY 2025 CoC Application.
Project Applicants
- Returning project applicants (including YHDP applicants) may choose to import prior year renewal project application responses into your FY 2024 application; however, this must be requested during your registration of the Renewal Funding Opportunity in e-snaps. Imported responses must be carefully reviewed to ensure accuracy and revised where changes are needed.
- New project applications must be completed in full and in accordance with the new project application components permitted in this year’s Competition.
- YHDP Reallocation and YHDP Replacement project applications must be completed in full and in accordance with the YHDP Reallocation and YHDP Replacement project application processes outlined in the NOFO.
- CoC planning and UFA Costs applications will only be reviewed if submitted by the CoC’s designated Collaborative Applicant identified in the CoC Applicant Profile in e-snaps.
- Dedicated HMIS projects, renewal and new, can only be submitted by the CoC’s designated HMIS Lead as identified in the CoC Applicant Profile in e-snaps.
