The third section illustrates how HUD will award points to projects in Tier 2. The second section illustrates the points available, as well as a community’s estimated points, in graphs. The first section outlines the scoring criteria for the Consolidated Application.

Maintaining or increasing funding will depend on how CoCs score on performance, resource allocation, strategic response, adhering to Housing First principles and ending homelessness among each of the subpopulations.ĭownload our NOFA Score Estimating tool to help visualize and think strategically about the scoring criteria for the 2016 Continuum of Care NOFA. This year, HUD is still pushing for change and up to 7 percent of CoC funds must be placed in “Tier 2”. Last year up to 15 percent of every continuum’s funds were up for grabs and as a result about $124 million were reallocated as a result of the NOFA competition. Sign up for our newsletter to get the latest news on the CoC funding. We’ll share more as we dig deeper into the notice. The HUD CoC Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) was just posted today and we are feverishly reviewing it here at the Alliance to compare it to last year’s funding competition and assess how this will impact our efforts to end homelessness.
