Selection & Funding Processes

The total funds available for new projects in 2023 will be determined based on the final bonus amounts, as determined by HUD, combined with any amount of funding that the CT BOS Steering Committee determines shall be reallocated from existing renewal projects.  

CT BOS will convene a committee to review and score applications that are submitted in response to this RFP.  CT BOS uses those scores to determine which applications are submitted to HUD and the order in which they are ranked.  Projects that score higher will have a greater chance of being funded.  HUD makes final decisions regarding which applications are funded. 

CT BOS encourages applications from applicants that have never previously received CoC funds as well as from applicants that are currently receiving or have in the past received CoC funds.  CT BOS provides technical assistance to ensure that the process is accessible to all eligible applicants, including those who have not received CoC funds in the past.

Please note that this application is based on the best information currently available, and CT BOS may need to revise the requirements described in the instructions and/or request additional information based on additional guidance received from HUD and/or decisions made by CT BOS Steering Committee.  CT BOS will disseminate all information about this funding opportunity as it becomes available through the CoC’s email listserv.  To ensure that you receive the latest information please subscribe to the CT BOS mailing list by visiting:  http://www.ctbos.org. Additionally, all information related to the RFP will be posted at: CT BOS New Project RFP Info

Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions. 

Sincerely,

CT BOS Team
