About this opportunity
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is seeking grant applications for the FY 2025 Continuum of Care Competition and Youth Homeless Demonstration Program to address homelessness nationwide. This opportunity targets nonprofit providers, state and local governments, tribal organizations, and housing authorities to quickly rehouse individuals and families experiencing homelessness, with a special focus on youth ages 24 and younger. The primary objectives include promoting community-wide commitment to ending homelessness, minimizing trauma associated with housing insecurity, and optimizing self-sufficiency among homeless populations. Critically, the grant opportunity is currently under a preliminary injunction from two federal court cases, meaning HUD will not implement or enforce the funding opportunity until further court order. Potential applicants should be prepared for future guidance on application dates and specific requirements.
While specific award values are not currently detailed due to the legal injunction, previous Continuum of Care Program grants have ranged from $50,000 to over $17 million, typically covering one-year periods. The program will support projects focused on permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, and homeless management information systems across various geographic locations. Eligible entities include public and private higher education institutions, county and city governments, tribal organizations, 501(c)(3) nonprofits, public housing authorities, and state governments. The Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program component specifically aims to develop coordinated community approaches to preventing youth homelessness and sharing best practices nationally.
