Continuum of Care Program Competition

The CoC Program is designed to promote a community-wide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness; to provide funding for efforts by nonprofit providers, States, and local governments to quickly re-house homeless individuals and families while minimizing the trauma and dislocation caused to homeless individuals, families, and communities by homelessness; to promote access to and effective utilization of mainstream programs by homeless individuals and families; and to optimize self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing homelessness.

2. Eligible Applicants. a. CoC Consolidated Applications. CoCs for which a FY2012 CoC Registration was approved by HUD during the FY2012 CoC Registration process must designate a Collaborative Applicant to submit the CoC Consolidated Application on behalf of the CoC. Collaborative Applicants will not be able to access the CoC Consolidated Application in e-snaps if the CoC does not have an approved Registration. b. Amendments to Registration. If a geographic area that includes projects eligible to apply for renewal during the FY2012 CoC Program Competition was not claimed by a CoC with an approved Registration, a contiguous CoC or the Balance of State CoC may contact HUD in writing to request that its Registration and Grants Inventory Worksheet (GIW) be amended to include the unclaimed geographic area and the renewal projects. In addition, in the event a CoC with an approved FY2012 CoC Registration failed to include a project on the CoC’s Grant Inventory Worksheet, that CoC may contact HUD in writing to request that the CoC’s Registration be amended. c. Project Applicants. Eligible project applicants for the CoC Program are identified in Section III.A.
