Overview
On July 5th, 2023, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) released a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the McKinney-Vento Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance Grants for FY 2023.
To participate in national competitions for CoC Program funds, SMAC must hold a Local CoC Program Competition to evaluate, select, and rank all projects the CoC wants to include in the region's national competition applications to HUD.
Project applicants that are part of the CoC’s application may receive funds to support Permanent Supportive Housing, Rapid Re-Housing, and Joint Transitional/Rapid Re-housing in the CoC region. CoC Program funds are meant to catalyze system-wide efforts and outcomes in homelessness prevention and assistance. -

Any agency that is interested in creating a NEW project or EXPANSION in this year’s NOFO application, please connect with Laquita to prep everything you can before the deadline.

While we are waiting for e-snaps to open, we are asking projects to work on cleaning up their program's HMIS data. ICA will be pulling project APRs on 8/1/23, so be sure your HMIS program data is clean by 7/31/23! We encourage you to run the QDQ Monitoring report for 7/1/22-6/30/2023 to help ensure your data is not missing or inaccurate.
In the renewal packet, you will find further information on timelines, scoring tool, and a new page with questions to answer about staff and leadership composition.
