A message from the National Alliance to End Homelessness:
The Administration is pushing an ideological agenda that could jeopardize communities’ access to life-saving resources. And despite the past commitments of a two-year funding application (NOFO) for FY2024 and FY2025, it seems that HUD still plans to run a new competition for FY2025. Not only will a new NOFO at this point result in significant delays, but based on the recent criteria included in the re-issued CoC Builds NOFO, it could also include new onerous conditions that are unrelated to homeless services. These extra conditions could place these critical resources at risk in communities across the country—red, blue, and purple alike.

Such disruption would upend the very backbone of the nation’s homelessness response, destabilizing programs and displacing and putting the people they serve at risk. Program staff, community partnerships, and landlords who rely on tenants’ rent would all be collateral damage.
Congress must prevent this and hold HUD accountable—and quickly.
Urge your Members of Congress to ask Appropriations Committee leadership to adopt straightforward language in the upcoming continuing resolution, directing HUD to award homelessness grants based on the FY2024 grant results. This will ensure these critical funds are disbursed on time and prevent irreparable harm to homelessness response efforts across the country!
Your voice is urgently needed right now. Take action here to ensure your community can receive CoC funding without delay and disruption! Thank you as always for your partnership in advancing effective homelessness solutions.
Take Action!
