HUD CONTINUUM OF CARE (CoC) PROGRAM COMPETITION
​
THHI Releases Addendum 1 to the 2025 Universal Request For Proposals (RFP) – November 2025 and FY25 HUD Continuum of Care Program Competition in response to HUD’s new FY 2025 CoC Program NOFO
On Friday, December 19, 2025, around 11:30 PM, HUD released a new FY 2025 HUD CoC Program Competition NOFO, which included the following information:
​
“The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is issuing this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the 2025 Fiscal Year for public review. HUD understands this NOFO to be enjoined pursuant to a preliminary injunction entered in State of Washington, et al. v. HUD, No. 1:25-cv-00626-MSM-AEM (District of Rhode Island), and National Alliance to End Homelessness, et al. v. HUD, No. 1:25-cv-00636-MSM-AEM (District of Rhode Island). HUD will not implement or enforce this NOFO pending further court order. HUD will issue further clarification on the status of this or any other future Fiscal Year 2025 NOFO as necessary. HUD will provide further notice as to when the application portal will open.”
HUD withdrew the initially released FY 2025 CoC Program Competition NOFO on December 8, 2025. Two lawsuits (referenced above) had been filed in response to HUD’s initially released FY 2025 NOFO, and they were scheduled to go before a judge the day HUD withdrew the initial NOFO. The judge assigned to these lawsuits has continued moving forward with the hearings on this matter, to include allowing HUD to issue a new FY 2025 CoC NOFO. Following a court hearing on December 19, 2025, HUD did issue a new FY 2025 CoC NOFO.
The December 19, 2025 Court Hearing can be viewed HERE.
