Earlier today, Secretary Julián Castro announced $355 million to more than 1,200 local homeless housing and service programs across the U.S., Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. This funding includes $725,424 to support 7 local homeless housing and service programs in Mississippi. These Continuum of Care (CoC) grants support the Obama Administration’s efforts to end homelessness and build upon the $1.6 billion in funding HUD awarded through a first round of funding in March.
MS Balance of State CoC is accepting applications for the 2016-2017 Continuum of Care funding cycle. It is estimated that $3,226,170 will be available for funding both reallocated and renewal projects. This funding will renew/fund projects that have end dates in 2016 and continue through 2017. Both renewals and reallocated projects must complete the application. The application deadline is Monday, October 19, 2015.
This Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) establishes the funding criteria for the FY 2015 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program. HUD is making available approximately $1.89 billion in Fiscal Year 2015 for the CoC Program.
