2026 HUD Competition Notice of Funding Opportunity

On September 17, 2026 The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has officially reopened the FY 2026 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program Competition also known as the FY 2026 HUD Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO).
Following a federal court of appeals stay that allows HUD to proceed with funding awards, HUD has established a new final deadline for the collaborative application submission of September 30, 2026.

On August 7, 2026, the United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island issued a Memorandum and Order that sets aside the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) issuance of the FY 2026 HUD Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). HUD has not released updated guidance regarding next steps. Because the underlying HUD NOFO has been set aside, the local Continuum of Care (CoC) competition process is paused until HUD provides formal direction on how CoCs should proceed.
