About this file
This document is an exhibit summarizing significant changes to FY 2025 grant requirements for a Continuum of Care (CoC) program, likely administered by HUD in partnership with state and local governments in New Mexico. The exhibit outlines new federal program requirements, budgeting procedures, and eligibility criteria for various housing project types including permanent supportive housing (PSH), rapid rehousing (RRH), transitional housing (TH), and street outreach (SSO) initiatives. Key service delivery changes include prioritization of substance abuse treatment and recovery services, mandatory collaboration with law enforcement and first responders to address encampments and public drug use, and introduction of project threshold elements requiring minimum service participation levels (such as 40 hours per week of customized services for transitional housing participants). Notable structural changes include reduction of Tier 1 funding from 90% to 30% of annual renewal demand, a cap limiting permanent housing projects to 30% of annual renewal demand, and elimination of Safe Haven project eligibility and new joint TH-RRH projects.
The revised governance structure now mandates that CoC boards include at least three elected officials, one business community representative, and two law enforcement officers. Notification timelines for local awards have been compressed from 30 to 15 days prior to application closing. New threshold requirements for renewal projects include prohibitions on activities involving racial discrimination or illegal sex-based definitions, as well as prohibitions on drug injection sites and unlicensed drug paraphernalia distribution. CoC scoring elements now emphasize substance abuse treatment availability across at least 30% of projects, 24/7 access to detoxification services, formal partnerships with behavioral health facilities, and demonstration of at least 20% reduction in encampments. Funding requirements specify that CoC funding, match, and leverage must equal 50% of annual renewal demand, with 30% of proposed funding directed toward supportive services relative to the annual renewal demand.
