Description

CoC Builds provides funding for construction, acquisition, or rehabilitation of new units of PSH specifically for individuals and families experiencing homelessness where one member of the household has a disability. Most of the requested funding must be for new construction, acquisition, or rehabilitation to create new units of permanent supportive housing. See IV.B.1.b and c of this NOFO for information regarding other CoC Program eligible costs, including project administrative costs that includes the percentages of funding that may be requested.
Background
The Continuum of Care Builds (CoC Builds) program, administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), aims to provide funding for the construction, acquisition, or rehabilitation of new units of Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) specifically for individuals and families experiencing homelessness, particularly where one member has a disability.

The program seeks to address and reduce homelessness by adding new PSH units through competitive grants totaling approximately $75 million.

Grant Details
The CoC Builds program focuses on funding capital costs associated with creating new units of PSH. Most requested funding must be allocated for new construction, acquisition, or rehabilitation. Up to 20% of each award may be used for other eligible CoC Program activities, while no more than 10% may be used for project administration.

Applicants must demonstrate site control and financial feasibility before executing the grant agreement. Projects selected must also complete an environmental review and a subsidy layering review prior to drawing funds.

Eligibility Requirements
Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, Native American tribal governments (federally recognized), public housing authorities, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), and others as specified in the NOFO.

Individuals are not eligible to apply. Faith-based organizations can apply on equal footing with other organizations.

Period of Performance
The period of performance for projects can range from 24 months to 60 months depending on the nature of the project (new construction typically takes longer than rehabilitation).

The anticipated performance period start date is October 1, 2025, with an end date of September 30, 2029.

Grant Value
Approximately $75 million is available through this NOFO for competitive grants. Each award's maximum amount is based on each CoC’s FY 2025 Final Pro Rata Need. Specific amounts vary based on the CoC's needs and may include additional funds for projects located on Tribal lands.

Place of Performance
The geographic locations for grant performance are primarily within Continuum of Care geographic areas that address homelessness in states with populations under 2.5 million people.

Additional Info
Indian Tribes and Tribally Designated Housing Entities (TDHE). The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Public Law 116-260, approved December 27, 2020) amended title IV to add section 435 of the Act to allow Indian Tribes and TDHEs to be Collaborative Applicants, eligible entities, or subrecipients of the CoC Program in addition to amending title IV section 401 to add the terms "Formula Area" and "Indian Tribe." These amendments mean that not only may Tribes and TDHEs apply for grants through other CoCs, but that formula areas, as that term is defined in the Indian Housing Block Grant program at 24 CFR 1000.302, are eligible to be added to the geographic areas of existing CoCs or may be included in newly formed CoCs through the CoC registration process (see Notice CPD-22-02) or may be temporarily added through the process outlined in Section III.A.5. Any applicant that is not a Tribe or TDHE proposing to site a project on a Tribal reservation or trust land, or proposing to carry out a Tribal project located in an IHBG formula area must include a Tribal resolution from the Tribe authorizing the applicant to do so or a letter from an official or principal of the Indian Tribe or TDHE who is authorized to act on behalf of the Indian Tribe or TDHE. Tribes do not need to include a Tribal resolution to site a project on their own reservation or trust land. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations are not eligible to compete for, or receive, awards made under this announcement.
