2026_Housing_Navigation_Center_NOFA.pdf

This is a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) issued by the City of Houston's Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) seeking applications from qualified nonprofit organizations and local government entities to lease and operate a Housing Navigation Center. The facility will provide temporary semi-private accommodations and services designed to bridge the gap between outreach and permanent housing placement for unhoused individuals, with the primary outcome being participant transition to housing and sustainable life skills development. The contract term is three years (36 months). A pre-application conference was held with a recording available on YouTube, and a scheduled facility tour for April 24th at 11:00 AM was canceled.

The project is supported by approximately $10,500,000 in funding over the 36-month period from CDBG-Disaster Recovery 24 and additional sources that may include other federal, state, and local funding. The specific funding amounts allocated per fiscal year, detailed pricing terms, set-asides, and other financial requirements are not accessible in the referenced file, as it requires JavaScript enablement to access the full NOFA document on www.beaconbid.com.
