Continuum of Care Supplemental to Address Unsheltered and Rural Homelessness

HUD is issuing a technical correction to the Special NOFO to Address Unsheltered and Rural Homelessness with the following corrections: • Section II.B.2.b.(2) - HUD updated the calculation for "CoC Project Ranking" that it will use to select projects for the Rural Set Aside. The previous version of the NOFO stated that the calculation of point values would be "50 times the quantity (1-x)..." The technical correction provides that it will be "40 times the quantity (1-x)..." which matches the example used to explain the calculation. • Appendix A - HUD corrected an error in the PPRN formula for FY 2022 CoC Program funds, which resulted in minor changes (between $1 and $24) to the maximum award amounts for both the Unsheltered Homelessness Set Aside and the Rural Set Aside for many CoCs. These changes are now incorporated in Appendix A. - The Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (24 CFR part 578) is designed to promote a community-wide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness; to provide funding for efforts by nonprofit providers, states, and local governments to quickly rehouse homeless individuals, families, persons fleeing or attempting to flee domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, and youth while minimizing the trauma and dislocation caused by homelessness; to promote access to and effective utilization of mainstream programs by homeless individuals and families; and to optimize self-sufficiency among those experiencing homelessness. This Special NOFO to Address Unsheltered and Rural Homelessness (Special NOFO) is designed to provide new funds dedicated to serving highly vulnerable individuals and families with histories of unsheltered homelessness.
