Key Messages/Talking Points
Core Message
- Delays in housing funding put people at risk of losing their homes.
- HUD’s current approach prioritizes process over continuity in funding for essential housing programs that help people move off the streets and stay housed.
- When housing assistance is delayed, even temporarily, the consequences are immediate and human: people can lose their homes and be pushed back into homelessness.
- Housing instability at this scale endangers individuals, undermines local economies, and deepens the national housing shortage.
- Congress has a clear and urgent path to prevent these harms by ensuring temporary renewals of all CoC grants before current funding expires
Why Immediate Action is Required
- More than $100 million in Continuum of Care funding expires in January alone, with additional grants expiring each month after. These expirations are imminent and unavoidable under current conditions.
- While the FY 2024–2025 CoC NOFO has been reinstated under court order, HUD is processing applications but not awarding funds, and has not obligated replacement funding for expiring grants.
- Even under the fastest possible timeline, new funds will not arrive before many existing grants run out. Litigation and a reinstated NOFO do not prevent grants from expiring or community funds from being exhausted.
- Funding gaps are not manageable in the current environment. Inflation, staffing shortages, rising operating costs, and the ongoing affordability crisis have eliminated the flexibility providers once had to absorb short delays.
- Small, rural, faith-based, and community-based providers are especially vulnerable. Many lack the reserves or credit lines to survive funding interruptions. If these programs fail, larger systems cannot quickly step in to replace them.
- Without immediate Congressional action, preventable disruptions to housing and services will occur.
The Stakes: A National Affordability Crisis
- The country faces a shortage of more than 4 million homes, while millions of families pay over half their income on housing.
- In this environment, preserving stable housing is not optional; it is essential for protecting individuals, communities, and local economies.
- Rising homelessness and soaring rental costs mean policy choices must strengthen housing security, not undermine it.
Why the HUD NOFO Poses Serious Risks
- HUD’s handling of the NOFO, including reinstatement without awards, introduces uncertainty and delays on a scale that threatens housing stability nationwide.
- Over $100 million in CoC funding expires in January alone, with additional grants expiring each month before replacement funding is available.
- If funding lapses or renewals are delayed, the impact will be immediate:
- People currently stably housed could lose assistance and return to homelessness.
- Communities with fewer financial reserves — particularly rural and lower-income areas — will be hit first and hardest. These communities do not have “slush funds” to bridge gaps.
- The programs affected span the full housing response system, including:
- Vouchers that keep people in permanent housing
- Transitional housing that helps survivors of domestic violence reach safety
- Housing paired with services for people managing mental or physical health needs or working toward recovery
- Those affected include seniors, people with disabilities, and veterans: individuals who have already overcome homelessness.
Economic & Community Impact
- More than 170,000 affordable homes could suddenly become unaffordable for people on fixed incomes.
- Communities would face cascading effects:
- Increased shelter demand and street homelessness.
- Higher costs for local governments and health systems.
- Disruptions in downtown commerce and community well-being.
- Rural and lower-income communities are especially vulnerable. Without reserves to cover gaps, delayed federal payments can mean programs shutting down entirely, leases terminating, and people losing their homes with nowhere else to go.
What Community Solutions is Calling For
1. Immediate Congressional Action
- Congress can act now to prevent housing loss before it starts.
- Lawmakers should pass legislation that:
- Ensures temporary renewals of existing CoC grants
- Prevents funding lapses while litigation and policy decisions play out
- Provides a clear, predictable timeline for continuity in funding
- This action would:
- Keep people stably housed instead of forcing preventable returns to homelessness
- Protect communities that lack the resources to absorb funding delays
- Give policymakers time to assess changes without destabilizing lives
2. Federal Policy That Reflects Reality and is Focused on Outcomes
- Communities need flexible, practical tools that:
- Allow them to preserve existing homes for people struggling with rising housing costs.
- Help them prevent returns to homelessness rather than respond after the fact.
- We support reform, but reform should be outcomes-focused — keeping people housed and reducing homelessness — not driven by bureaucratic deadlines.
Take Action
The reissuance of the NOFO does not ensure funding continuity for grants that are already expiring. Replacement funds have not been obligated, and even under the current court-ordered process, new funding will not arrive in time to prevent disruptions beginning in January.
Right now, the most urgent action is educating Congress — particularly members of the House and Senate Transportation, Housing and Urban Development (THUD) Appropriations Subcommittees — about what is happening on the ground.
Many offices assume that:
- Grants will be renewed on time
- Communities have resources to cover gaps
- People will remain housed while processes play out
Those assumptions are incorrect.
In many communities, there is no backup funding. When grants are delayed, programs shut down and people lose housing.
Congress has the power to prevent this by passing legislation that:
- Sets a clear, mandatory timeline for COC renewals
- Ensures there are no lapses between grant cycles
If you are calling Congress, use the talking points in this toolkit to clearly explain the risk and the solution.
FAQs
How does the 2025 Notice of Funding Opportunities (NOFO) change the structure of funding to the Continuum of Care Program?
HUD’s FY 2025 NOFO fundamentally reshapes the CoC program by reducing protections for existing housing and introducing far more competition and instability.
Under the NOFO, only 30 percent of a community’s funding is protected for renewal — down from the historical 90–95 percent — forcing most existing housing projects to compete nationally regardless of performance or local need. It also caps Permanent Housing renewals, including Permanent Supportive Housing and Rapid Re-Housing, at 30 percent of total renewal demand, even though many effective systems rely primarily on housing because it works.
These changes put an estimated $1.8 billion in annual rental payments to private landlords at risk and undermine housing stability for people least able to “turn over,” including older adults and people with disabilities. In effect, the NOFO shifts the CoC program from a stability-focused renewal system to one where most existing housing is newly at risk, prompting widespread concern and calls for Congress to temporarily renew current grants while reforms are reconsidered.
How are residents impacted by the revised 2025 NOFO and how?
The revised FY 2025 NOFO could put up to 170,000 people currently housed through the Continuum of Care (CoC) program at risk of losing rental assistance, depending on how communities are forced to restructure funding under the new rules. This estimate comes from analysis by the National Alliance to End Homelessness (NAEH), which found that new caps on permanent housing and reduced renewal protections could require communities to defund existing, occupied housing even when those programs are working. If you want to run the numbers for your own CoC, NAEH recommends using the same datasets to ensure consistency. Mary Frances Kenion noted that NAEH has already completed analyses at both the CoC and state level and is available to share those details: mkenion@naeh.org.
Separately, ongoing delays in awarding funds mean that some communities face the risk of housing loss even before these structural changes take effect, particularly where grants are expiring, and replacement funding has not been obligated.
How are landlords impacted by the NOFO? What are the implications for landlord partnerships?
The FY 2025 NOFO destabilizes landlord participation by reducing protected renewals and capping permanent housing, putting an estimated $1.8 billion in annual rental payments at risk and making CoC-funded housing far less predictable. As funding becomes more volatile, many landlords may exit these partnerships, shrinking the supply of affordable units and undoing years of trust-building between communities and the private rental market.

Are there any avenues for bypassing HUD and extending funding to prevent lapses in rental subsidies that both tenants and landlords rely on?
Yes — Congress has the authority to prevent funding lapses, even if HUD proceeds with the revised NOFO.
The primary avenue is Congressional action through the appropriations process:
- Congress can direct HUD to temporarily renew existing CoC grants (for example, for 12 months), as it did previously in FY 2024. This would allow rental subsidies and services to continue uninterrupted while policymakers review or revise the NOFO.
- This approach does not require new funding. It preserves current contracts and prevents sudden disruptions to tenants, landlords, and local systems.
- Many members of Congress are not yet aware that CoC grants are expiring or that communities lack the reserves to bridge funding gaps.
Absent Congressional action, HUD has limited flexibility. While HUD can make certain administrative adjustments, it cannot, on its own, override funding caps, tiering rules, or timelines established in the NOFO in a way that reliably protects all existing housing.
Bottom line:
There is no true way to “bypass” HUD administratively. Still, Congress can step in to stabilize funding by requiring temporary renewals of existing CoC grants — the clearest path to preventing lapses in rental subsidies for tenants and landlords.
There are lawsuits challenging the 2025 NOFO. Where do those stand, and what are the implications on NOFO funding?
Multiple lawsuits have been filed challenging HUD’s FY 2025 CoC NOFO, arguing that the changes conflict with federal law, exceed HUD’s authority, and risk widespread harm to people currently housed through the program.
Where things stand now:
- In response to litigation, a federal court ordered HUD to reinstate the FY 2024–2025 NOFO and to begin processing, but not awarding, eligible renewals.
- HUD has stated it will accept applications under the FY 2024–2025 NOFO while litigation continues and has indicated it may revert to the December NOFO if it prevails.
- The lawsuits are ongoing, and no final court ruling has been issued.
What this means for funding:
- The withdrawal did not extend or renew existing CoC grants, nor did it prevent funding gaps for grants expiring in early 2026.
- Until the courts rule or Congress acts, communities, residents, and landlords remain uncertain about whether funding will be renewed in time to prevent disruptions.
- Even if courts ultimately block parts of the NOFO, litigation alone does not guarantee continued funding absent Congressional or administrative action.
- Processing applications does not prevent current grants from expiring or ensure cash flow continuity for communities with expiring awards.
Bottom line:
The lawsuits have slowed, but not resolved, the threat posed by the FY 2025 NOFO. The most reliable way to prevent funding gaps remains Congressional direction to temporarily renew existing CoC grants, regardless of how the litigation unfolds.
How will this NOFO impact programs that braid CoC services with veterans’ services or funding streams?
The FY 2025 NOFO increases instability for programs that combine CoC funding with veterans’ housing and services, such as HUD-VASH and VA-funded case management.
Many veteran-serving programs rely on CoC-funded housing or services to complement VA resources. Under the NOFO’s new caps and reduced renewal protections, communities may be forced to defund parts of these braided programs, even when they are working. VA funding alone often cannot replace lost CoC support, putting housing stability and hard-won progress on veteran homelessness at risk.
Bottom line:
The NOFO risks unraveling coordinated HUD–VA partnerships that many communities rely on to keep veterans stably housed.
Which dates do we need more information on?
Several key dates matter right now — across HUD’s process, Congressional action, and the courts. Some are fixed, while others remain uncertain.
HUD application and local competition deadlines
- National HUD deadline:
The federal deadline for CoC applications remains January 14, 2026, at 8:00 p.m. ET, unless HUD formally revises the NOFO timeline. - Local competition deadlines:
Every CoC must complete its local competition before submitting to HUD, and for most communities, this means local project applications are due by mid-December, often no later than December 15. - Earlier internal deadlines:
Because the FY 2025 NOFO sharply limits renewals and expects communities to create or reconfigure many projects, many CoCs have set earlier internal deadlines to manage review, ranking, and appeals. These earlier dates vary by community and are a direct result of the NOFO’s structural changes.
What’s new to watch:
If HUD reissues the NOFO as a result of litigation, application deadlines could shift, but no revised dates have been announced yet.
Even if deadlines shift, delays increase the risk of funding lapses for existing housing, particularly in communities without financial reserves.
Deadlines for Congress to act to prevent funding lapses
- Calendar year 2026 grant expirations:
Many CoC-funded housing and services expire in early 2026, with some as early as January. - Congressional action window:
To prevent funding gaps, Congress would need to act before those expirations, either through FY 2026 appropriations or other legislative direction requiring HUD to temporarily renew existing grants.
Judicial timelines
No final rulings yet:
There is no set date for final judicial decisions, and litigation timelines are unpredictable.
Lawsuits are ongoing:
Multiple legal challenges to the FY 2025 NOFO are still pending. HUD’s temporary withdrawal of the NOFO paused, but did not resolve those cases.
What’s changing with the CoC scoring criteria this year?
HUD has replaced the traditional CoC scoring framework with what it now calls a “Merit Review.” According to the National Alliance to End Homelessness’ (NAEH) side-by-side comparison with the FY 2024 NOFO, both the structure and weighting of points have shifted significantly.
Merit Review replaces prior CoC scoring and shifts weighting.
The new 130-point system includes 9 points for Project Capacity/Ranking, 40 for System Performance, and 81 for Coordination & Engagement, plus up to 19 bonus points. Service requirements appear throughout the scoring framework.
Tier 2 scoring now favors projects with required services.
Tier 2 projects can receive up to 100 points based on Merit Review scores and local ranking, plus up to 10 additional points for requiring service participation. This gives mandatory-service models a clear scoring advantage.
HUD’s expanded Risk Review increases the likelihood of project rejection.
HUD may consider media reports, Inspector General or Government Accountability Office findings, public complaints, or an organization’s history of activities HUD views as conflicting with the NOFO when determining whether to deny or reduce funding.
How will this NOFO affect Coordinated Entry (CES)?
The FY 2025 CoC NOFO does not make substantive changes to the core requirements for Coordinated Entry (CES) or Coordinated Entry–specific projects (SSO-CE). However, other changes in the NOFO may significantly affect how CES functions in practice.
According to the National Alliance to End Homelessness (NAEH):
Communities may need to update CES policies and written standards.
Changes in program types and housing availability mean CoCs should reassess CES written standards and processes to ensure assessment, prioritization, and referral pathways remain consistent, fair, and aligned with the evolving funding landscape.
CES projects funded through the CoC Program are still subject to local ranking.
If a Coordinated Entry project is funded in whole or in part with CoC funds and is eligible for renewal in FY 2025, the CoC must determine how that project is ranked within the local competition.
System-wide funding changes may affect CES operations and prioritization.
Regardless of how CES is funded, the new cap on permanent housing and broader shifts in available funding could affect how quickly people can be referred to housing, how prioritization decisions are made, and how effectively the system moves people out of homelessness.
Is HUD changing who can qualify for Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH)?
For new PSH projects created under the FY 2025 NOFO, HUD is narrowing who those projects are designed to serve, but key questions remain unanswered.
Under the FY 2025 NOFO, new Permanent Supportive Housing projects must be designed specifically for older adults or for people with physical or developmental disabilities. The NOFO explicitly excludes substance use disorder from this definition and does not clearly state whether people with mental health disabilities are eligible under these new project rules.
This is a significant shift from longstanding federal law. The McKinney-Vento Act, which governs the CoC program, defines disability broadly and includes physical, mental, emotional, and developmental disabilities, as well as conditions such as PTSD, brain injury, and HIV/AIDS. Historically, PSH has served people across this full spectrum of disabilities.
Because HUD has not issued further clarification, it is unclear how these new NOFO provisions will be reconciled with existing law and fair housing protections, which prohibit discrimination based on disability. As a result, communities and advocates are urging HUD to provide guidance on how eligibility should be interpreted and applied.

Is there any viable pathway to use transition grants to convert permanent housing projects into transitional housing in order to meet the 30 percent cap?
Based on current law and guidance, converting Permanent Housing (PSH or RRH) to Transitional Housing (TH) using transition grants is not a viable strategy without displacing current residents.
According to analysis from the National Alliance to End Homelessness (NAEH), people currently living in Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) or Rapid Re-Housing (RRH) are considered housed and therefore do not meet eligibility requirements for Transitional Housing. Federal law limits TH eligibility to people who meet specific definitions of homelessness, and current PSH and RRH residents generally do not qualify under those definitions.
As a result, if a PSH or RRH project were reallocated or transitioned to TH:
- Current residents would generally not be eligible to remain in place
- Households would likely have to exit their homes and be replaced with new participants who meet TH eligibility
- This applies to both PSH and RRH projects
Some have asked whether residents who lose housing due to a project ending could qualify as “imminently homeless.” NAEH notes that loss of rental assistance alone does not meet this standard under current regulations, which typically require a formal eviction notice or court order. HUD has not issued guidance indicating otherwise.
Source: National Alliance to End Homelessness, FY 2025 CoC Program NOFO FAQ and Analysis
Are new Transitional Housing projects required to provide all 40 hours of supportive services directly?
The FY 2025 NOFO requires new Transitional Housing (TH) projects to provide 40 hours per week of customized supportive services per participant, but HUD has not provided additional guidance on how those hours must be delivered.
Specifically, the NOFO does not clarify:
- Whether services must be provided directly by the housing provider or can include services delivered by community partners
- Whether services can be delivered in group settings
- How participation in services must be tracked or enforced
Under existing CoC program rules, eligible supportive services include a wide range of activities, such as case management, employment and education services, life skills training, mental health and substance use treatment, healthcare services, childcare, transportation, and housing search assistance.
Source: National Alliance to End Homelessness, FY 2025 CoC Program NOFO FAQ and Analysis
How should domestic violence (DV) service providers approach NOFO requirements that may conflict with FVPSA, VAWA, or VOCA?
At this time, HUD has not clarified how the FY 2025 NOFO will be reconciled with longstanding survivor-protection laws, including the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVPSA), the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), and the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA).
The NOFO introduces new provisions, including required service participation for certain new projects, but provides no clear guidance on how those requirements apply to DV and trafficking service providers. Notably, the NOFO does not identify explicit exceptions to service participation requirements for survivors of domestic violence.
As a result, it remains unclear how DV providers can access the $52 million DV Bonus set-aside while remaining fully compliant with federal survivor-protection laws, which prioritize voluntary services, confidentiality, and survivor choice.
Recommended steps for DV providers:
- Submit questions directly to HUD through the HUD Exchange portal to request formal clarification:
https://www.hudexchange.info/program-support/my-question/ - Consult legal counsel to ensure compliance with FVPSA, VAWA, VOCA, and applicable state laws while evaluating NOFO participation.
Source: National Alliance to End Homelessness, FY 2025 CoC Program NOFO FAQ and Analysis
Are there any harm-reduction approaches, such as Narcan and overdose prevention tools, that are allowable under the new NOFO?
The FY 2025 NOFO explicitly disallows activities HUD associates with illicit drug use, such as safe consumption sites or the distribution of drug paraphernalia, and engaging in these activities may lead to funding reductions or denial.
The NOFO does not clearly state whether overdose prevention tools like Narcan are permitted, particularly when described under a broad “harm reduction” framework. Because HUD has expanded its Risk Review to consider media reports, audits, and public complaints, programs that characterize services as harm reduction may face increased scrutiny.
Sources: National Alliance to End Homelessness, FY 2025 CoC Program NOFO Full Analysis
What are funding options for programs that have engaged in activities that HUD might now deem unfundable under the NOFO?
The FY 2025 NOFO introduces new prohibitions and an expanded Risk Review, which may put some programs at risk if HUD determines they have engaged in activities that conflict with the NOFO’s priorities.
Programs in this position may need to:
- Seek clarification from HUD through the HUD Exchange portal before making program changes
- Separate funding streams so activities HUD now deems unfundable are supported with non-CoC dollars
- Pursue alternative funding, such as state or local funds, philanthropy, healthcare partnerships, or other federal programs
What changes does this NOFO introduce for HMIS operations and requirements?
The FY 2025 NOFO doesn’t rewrite the core HMIS rulebook (data standards, privacy/security, participation requirements), but it introduces new competition and compliance pressures that could change HMIS operations in practice, especially regarding data sharing, documentation, and how HMIS supports scoring and “risk review.” NAEH flags a new expectation that CoCs have a plan to share PIT, HIC, HMIS, and System Performance Measure (SPM) data with state/local government “as permitted by law.”
Important note: HUD has publicly stated it withdrew the NOFO to make revisions and intends to reissue it, so HMIS-related expectations could still shift when the updated NOFO is released
Sources: National Alliance to End Homelessness, FY 2025 CoC Program NOFO Full Analysis
For providers considering how to comply with the NOFO’s mandatory service requirements, is there guidance on preserving choice and flexibility?
At this time, there is no detailed guidance from HUD or the National Alliance to End Homelessness (NAEH) on how to design “required services” in a way that preserves choice, flexibility, or meaningful exceptions.
What is clear from NAEH’s analysis is that the FY 2025 NOFO explicitly incentivizes mandatory service participation, particularly in Tier 2 scoring. Tier 2 projects can receive up to 10 additional points for requiring services, giving projects with mandatory service models a competitive advantage in funding decisions. However, the NOFO does not define acceptable models, thresholds, enforcement mechanisms, or exception policies.

Template Press Release
[Local BFZ community] raises concerns over HUD’s new homelessness funding rules, urges a path that protects housing stability and supports real solutions
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
[City/County], [State] — [Date] — Leaders in [Community/CoC Name] are raising serious concerns about the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) new Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), which threatens rental support for more than 170,000 people nationwide who rely on permanent housing to stay stable at a time when the country faces a severe shortage of affordable homes.
Local leaders are urging Congress to renew all existing Continuum of Care contracts for twelve months — a previously authorized step that would prevent disruption, allow time to evaluate the proposed policy changes, and help communities protect housing stability.
“This is not the time to reduce housing or threaten stability for people who rely on it,” said [Local Leader], [Title] for [Organization]. “Reform must be judged by real outcomes: fewer people experiencing homelessness, safer public spaces, and better long-term stability. And any shift must confront the real issue: people have nowhere to move when affordable homes are scarce and rental support becomes temporary.”
Key concerns for [Community/CoC Name]
- Immediate risk of housing loss. Because the NOFO was released late in the year, new awards may not be available until August 2026. Communities will begin running out of funds as early as January, putting as many as 170,000 people — including seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities — at risk of losing stable housing and services. With affordable homes already scarce, making rental support temporary would push many back into homelessness.
- A harmful funding shift. The NOFO redirects funding without addressing the core problem: the nation is short millions of affordable homes. Limiting permanent housing resources ignores extensive evidence that stable housing reduces homelessness and strengthens long-term outcomes.
- Negative impacts on public safety and crisis systems. Permanent housing reduces arrests, emergency health care use, and pressure on law enforcement. Restricting it could increase unsheltered homelessness and worsen outcomes for people in crisis.
- Funding gaps that communities cannot bridge locally. The NOFO’s emphasis on transitional housing cannot fill the gap quickly. New units take 12–18 months to bring online, leaving an immediate shortage of options in an already tight housing market.
- Threats to the existing affordable housing supply. Many permanent housing programs depend on layered financing. Sudden rule changes could destabilize these properties, affecting small landlords and risking local affordable housing stock.
What [Community/CoC Name] is calling for
1. A one-year Congressional renewal of all CoC grants expiring in 2026.
A straightforward step to protect housing stability while policymakers address needed reforms.
2. Outcome-based reforms that focus on reducing homelessness.
Policy should prioritize reductions in homelessness, stronger public-space conditions, and long-term stability.
3. Local flexibility to design the right mix of housing and services.
Communities need the ability to pair housing with treatment and tailor programs to local conditions, especially during a housing shortage.
Why it matters for [Community/CoC Name]
Over the past [X] years, the community has invested in coordinated, data-driven work through Built for Zero to improve outcomes for people experiencing homelessness. [Brief local example: recent reductions, milestones, system improvements.]
Sudden shifts in federal housing support put this progress at risk by destabilizing existing homes, interrupting services, and straining partnerships that took years to build.
“Our job is to keep people safe and housed,” said [Second Local Leader].“We need federal partners who support what works: increasing housing supply, connecting people to treatment, and giving local providers the flexibility to deliver results. Temporary rental assistance in a market with no affordable homes is not a viable path.”
