    The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Office of Special Needs Assistance Programs has issued a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for Fiscal Year 2025 Continuum of Care (CoC) Builds (FR-6900-N-25A). This NOFO, deemed to have no significant environmental impact, aims to provide $75,000,000 in competitive grants. These funds will re-compete FY 2023 funds for CoC geographic areas to construct, acquire, or rehabilitate housing units for individuals and families experiencing homelessness where at least one member has a qualifying disability. The program seeks to increase permanent supportive housing (PSH) units, encourage coordination among housing, healthcare, and social service providers, and expand opportunities in states with smaller populations. HUD encourages leveraging these funds with other sources. Environmental reviews are required for all activities prior to fund commitment, with some projects categorically excluded or subject to review by a responsible entity or HUD under specific regulations.
