Continuum of Care Builds (CoC Builds)
The U.S. Department of Housing and Development and the Office of Special Needs Assistance (SNAPS) are excited to announce the publication of the CoC Builds NOFO, FR-6901-N-25A, published last Friday, May 16, 2025, to compete $75,000,000 in available funds. Resources are available on the CoC Builds NOFO page of HUD’s website.
The purpose of this NOFO is to recompete the availability of FY 2023 funds for the CoC Builds program to submit new capital costs projects that include additional CoC Program funds to construct, acquire, or rehabilitate units of housing for individuals and families experiencing homelessness where at least one individual in the household has a qualifying disability. The CoC Builds funds were authorized by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (Public Law 117-328, approved December 29, 2022).
The Continuum of Care Builds (CoC Builds) program under this NOFO provides $75,000,000 for competitive grants to target funding for CoC geographic areas to address and reduce the number individuals and families experiencing homelessness by adding new units of permanent supportive housing (PSH) through new construction, acquisition, and rehabilitation (capital costs) through one-time CoC Builds awards under the Continuum of Care Program. Through this NOFO, HUD encourages CoCs to leverage funds provided for capital costs of new PSH units with other funding sources to maximize the amount of housing that can be created. PSH is permanent supportive housing that also provides supportive services to assist individuals and families experiencing homelessness, where at least one household member has a disability that substantially impedes their ability to live independently. No more than 20 percent of each award may be used for other eligible CoC Program activities (Section IV.B.1.b) and no more than 10 percent of an award may be used for project administration.
