FY25 CoC Funding Competition
IMPORTANT FY25 COC NOFO UPDATE
The local CoC funding process is currently "paused," due to legal and procedural uncertainty surrounding the HUD CoC NOFO at the federal level. We will communicate any new information with you as soon as we have it. Like you, we are doing our best to navigate this chaos and doing our best to be prepared for the unexpected.
What does this mean for Applicants?
-
We anticipate that any new NOFO from HUD will still prioritize funding for Transitional Housing or Support Services Only. We recommend that you continue thinking about and preparing to apply for these projects so that you can respond quickly again if required by HUD. This can include developing a project budget and support service plans, gathering required documentation (501c3 status, SAM registration and UEI), etc. We may be required by HUD to submit things quickly again, any day.
As we all navigate this funding uncertainty together, the work you do every day for people in need in Delaware is the most important thing of all. Thank you for all of your work, and don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.
HUD announced their intention to conduct a FY25 CoC Funding Competiton, despite previously approving a 2-year NOFO process. Due to this announcement late in the year and the expected limited turn around time for submission, the non-conflicted CoC Board approved use of the FY24 DE CoC Funding Policies to govern the process by which the DE CoC reviews, scores, selects, & ranks projects for the FY25 HUD CoC Program Funding Competition.
FY25 HUD CoC Notice of Funding Opportunity
On 11/14/25, HUD released a new FY25 CoC NOFO, replacing the previously approved 2-year allocation in the FY24-25 CoC NOFO. The new NOFO makes competitive funding available to provide housing and supportive services for people experiencing homelessness, but includes major changes in funding use, HUD priorities, and a shortened submission timeframe with a deadline of 8:00pm on 1/14/26.
The DE CoC is hosting a webinar to review major highlights, updates, and changes in the new NOFO, as well as the DE CoC’s FY25 New Project RFP, application materials, and submission requirements.

Any agency planning to apply for new or renewal CoC project funds must have at least one representative in attendance at this meeting. Anyone interested in learning about HUD's FY25 CoC Policy Priorities and requirements for the community’s Consolidated Application is also encouraged to attend.

FY24 DE CoC Priority List
The DE CoC Priority List contains the full list of projects that have been accepted and ranked by the DE CoC for submission to HUD for CoC homeless assistance funding. The document also lists the projects rejected or reduced by the DE CoC. The non-conflicted CoC Board reviewed and approved the priority list recommended by the CoC Funding Committee on 9/12/24.
CoC Funding Committee
The CoC Funding Committee is a non-conflicted volunteer group that convenes to fulfill the DE CoC’s annual federal funding requirements in response to the HUD CoC Program NOFO. In collaboration with the non-conflicted CoC Board and CoC Lead Agency, the Committee develops and implements an objective and transparent project review and ranking process to provide funding recommendations to the non-conflicted CoC Board.
