HUD Continuum of Care Approved Consolidated Application and Priority Listing

2022 Notice of Funding Opportunity for CoC Competition Notice of Funding

HUD has released the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the 2022 CoC competition (See below for release). Although the NOFO was released on 8/1, project applications were not available to send out until today which is why this email was not sent out sooner. This year, the overall HUD application deadline is September 30, 2022, which gives limited time to complete all applications, score all applications and submit the overall application. This is over a month shorter than HUD’s previous year’s for completing the NOFO, and 1 ½ months shorter due to applications only being available as of today. I apologize for the short time frames that will be required of providers completing and submitting new and renewal project applications.

 

HUD providers with renewal projects for the 2022 HUD Continuum of Care (CoC) Competition were already notified by email. While renewal projects can be imported from the 2021 CoC Competition,  all HUD providers with renewals must submit the additional renewal application already sent by email for performance updates, as well as Ranking and Scoring of applications.

 

For new project applications for the 2022 competition, the amount of CoC bonus funds available are $150,421. Based on the local need, only new projects for Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) will be accepted.  Any provider can apply for the new PSH projects and current PSH providers may apply for expansion. There will be only one new PSH project application submitted and it will be the application that is scored highest by the Ranking and Scoring Committee. Providers applying for a new PSH project need to submit the New CoC Bonus Project Application (linked below) and current PSH providers applying to expand their grant would just submit their Renewal application (already emailed) and the  New Expansion Project applications (linked below). You can return either the PDF or Word application, whichever is easier to fill out.  Since Erie County received the DV bonus for Rapid Re-Housing last year, and the project has not yet launched (it will launch in 2-3 months), we will not be applying for the DV bonus funds this year.  As I mentioned, there is a very short time frame for this year’s NOFO. HUD is requiring all New and Renewal project applications are to be submitted no later than 30 days before the overall application submission deadline of September 30, 2022 (see page 58 of the NOFO) .  All new and renewal applications must be emailed back to the County (Peter Burke, pburke@eriecountypa.gov) no later than 5:00 PM on Tuesday, August 30, 2022.

HUD 2022 Continuum of Care Competition Application Documents

HUD has released the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the 2021 CoC competition.

Erie County (Peter Burke, Housing Program Director), the Lead Applicant will reach out to current HUD providers who plan on submitting a renewal applications for the 2021 Continuum of Care Competition by email for further instructions. For new project applications for the 2021 competition, you may begin working on your project applications using the attached HUD CoC Bonus PH-PSH, CoC Bonus Expansion PH-PSH, DV Bonus PH-RRH and DV Bonus SSO-CE Application (attached). Erie County is able to apply for two types of new funding, CoC Bonus and DV Bonus. For the CoC Bonus money, we have up to $162,002. Based on the local need, the County will be the only one applying for the CoC bonus money to fill in the much needed financial gap of Permanent Supportive Housing. New Project applications would submit a CoC New Project PH-PHS application. Current PSH providers applying to expand their grant would just submit their Renewal application and a CoC PH-PHS Expansion application. This year HUD providers applying to expand their programs do not have to put in an additional Combined Renewal Expansion grant (as was the case in 2019). For the DV Bonus, applicants can apply for a minimum of $50,000 and up to $486,005. For the DV Bonus, we will only accept applications that have PH-RRH or SSO-CE as a project type. Based on our local needs, we will not accept the Joint TH-RRH project type. New DV projects for PH-RRH will submit a DV Bonus New Project PH-RRH application and onus New Project SSO-CE application. All new/expansion project (CoC and DV bonus) applications will be due electronically back to the county (Peter Burke, pburke@eriecountypa.gov) no later than 5:00 PM on Friday, October 15th.

NOTES

Please understand that while you will see in the NOFO that the due date of the consolidated application is 11/16/21, there are multiple other internal deadlines that our CoC must meet prior to this date. In addition, the ranking and scoring committee needs sufficient time to review all of your project applications to ensure that all are reviewed in a thorough and fair manner. Thank you in advance for your understanding of this.
