2025 HUD Continuum of Care Notice of Funding Opportunity Process
In November 2025, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) released the FY2025 Continuum of Care Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) which nullifies the two-year awarded contracts awarded in 2024. Any new Continuum of Care awards will receive contracts no sooner than May 2026. If a program's current contract expires in or after January 2026, programs should plan on operating with contingency funds until at least May 2026.
The Polk County/Des Moines Continuum of Care’s 2025 Continuum of Care Competition and local project application cycle will open on Monday, November 24, 2025, with an Open Meeting to discuss HUD’s FY 25 Continuum of Care Competition NOFO, the local project application and local application process.
If your agency is planning on renewing a current project or applying for a new project, you must have at least one person from your agency attend this meeting. The meeting is open to the public.
