CoC Program Application Information
Each year, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) releases a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program.
Instructions for the FY2024 CoC Program Application are posted here.
Please note, there are separate instructions for new and renewal project applicants. Applicants should thoroughly read the instructions to understand what materials should be submitted and when.
The NC Balance of State CoC (NC BoS CoC) has multiple submission dates for materials. The CoC will use the timely submission of materials as a major factor in whether a project application will be considered for submission in the final CoC Consolidated Application.
If you have questions, please ask them early in the process and do not wait until close to the submission deadlines. All questions should be directed to bos@ncceh.org.
The CoC does not intend to grant any extension during this process.
