Instructions Package 12-19-25.zip

The file appears to be an Instructions Package related to the FY 2025 Continuum of Care Competition and Youth Homeless Demonstration Program Grants Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) issued by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). However, the NOFO is currently under a preliminary injunction from two federal court cases (State of Washington, et al. v. HUD and National Alliance to End Homelessness, et al. v. HUD), which means HUD will not implement or enforce the funding opportunity pending further court order.

The grant opportunity is associated with the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA Number 14.267) and aims to address homelessness by providing funding to nonprofit providers, states, Indian Tribes, and local governments. The program's primary goals include quickly rehousing individuals and families experiencing homelessness, promoting access to mainstream programs, and optimizing self-sufficiency. A key component is the Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP), which specifically targets preventing and ending homelessness for youth ages 24 and younger, including unaccompanied and pregnant or parenting youth. Currently, HUD has not specified application dates or award values due to the ongoing legal injunction.
