HUD Continuum of Care (CoC) Competition FY2026
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) released the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the FY2026 Continuum of Care (CoC) funding competition on June 1, 2026. In FY2025, the Madison/Dane CoC was awarded $7,343,835 for Permanent Supportive Housing, Rapid Rehousing, Joint Transitional Housing-Rapid Rehousing, Support Services Only, Coordinated Entry, Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) and Planning Projects.
Please visit HUD's CoC Program Competition page for more information. The City of Madison is the Collaborative Applicant for this funding competition. If you have any quesitons or are interested in applying, please reach out to Torrie Kopp Mueller, CoC Coordinator at tkoppmueller@cityofmadison.com or (608)266-6254.
The HSC Board of Directors approved a Policy to Advance Recovery by Prohibiting Drug Enablement at their meeting on July 1, 2026. CoC-funded housing programs awarded under the FY26 NOFO will need to implement this policy.
Applications will be accepted and considered from organizations that have not previously recieved CoC Program Funding, including faith based organizations.
New projects can apply for CoC Bonus, Domestic Violence Bonus, YHDP Replacement and funds available through reallocation. According to the CoC's Review, Rating and Ranking policy, any project that does not score at least 60% on the CoC Performance Scorecard is subject to reallocation of their funds (meaning a new project can apply for those funds). In this competition, there are six prjects that did not meet the 60% threshold. Those projects can be considered for renewal, but will compete with new projects.
The following is the approximate funding available for new projects. Amounts will be updated once HUD releases further information.
Unsheltered Reallocation: $606,390
DV Reallocation: $525,008
YHDP Replacement: $1,323,174
CoC Bonus: $1,092,840
DV Bonus: $578,459
Please review the Local Competition Announcement for information on how to apply and eligible project types.
