Event Description:
Join South Dakota Housing for the Homeless Consortium for a webinar covering the FY 2026 Continuum of Care competition, including an overview of how CoC funds are allocated, what project types are eligible, and how the local competition and priority listing process works. This year's competition includes significant changes from prior years, including a 30% cap on permanent housing in the Annual Renewal Demand, a smaller Tier 1 guarantee, and increased emphasis on public safety partnerships, mandatory service participation, and substance use treatment. The NOFO is expected to be released on May 29th and will look similiary to the 2nd FY25 NOFO which was released on December 19th. We anticipate SD will be able to apply for an allocation of approximately $4.84 million in funds. New projects, especially for Transitional Housing and Supportive Services (Projects without housing) are needed. This webinar will cover what new applicants need to submit, what renewing applicants need to update, and what the application deadlines look like. Participants will also receive guidance on what HUD is prioritizing in scoring this cycle and what language and program elements are most likely to strengthen a competitive application. All materials will be recorded and posted to housingforthehomeless.org following the session.
