$3.4 Million in Continuum of Care Funding Available for Fiscal Year 2025
The South Dakota Housing for the Homeless Consortium (SDHHC) is announcing that more than $3.4 million in Continuum of Care (CoC) funding is now available for fiscal year 2025. This funding comes from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD and will be awarded through a competitive state and federal application process.
Final amounts have not been published by HUD. However, to meet the requirements in the funding notice, South Dakota will need to reallocate over $1 million of its yearly funds to new Transitional Housing and Supportive Service Only projects.
South Dakota can also apply for two bonus funding opportunities, each estimated at more than $200,000. One bonus can serve any eligible homeless household, while the other bonus is specifically for programs that support survivors of domestic violence. All awarded projects are eligible for annual renewal and expansion on a competitive basis.
In total, over $1.8 million will be awarded to new projects this year. HUD plans to announce awards in May, with projects to begin Oct. 1, 2026.
If the CoC does not receive strong applications for these new project types, the FY25 funds will be shifted to other communities and lost in future years. Because of this, It is important for South Dakota partners and communities with the capacity to apply for Transitional Housing or Supportive Service projects.
HUD has set a final deadline of Jan. 14, 2025. All project applications must be submitted to the CoC by 5 p.m. CST on Dec. 15. The SDHHC is finalizing its local competition policy, timeline and scoring tool for ranking applications.
Applicants should act quickly to gain access to the e-SNAPS application platform at www.hudexchange.info/programs/e-snaps/ and review the Notice of Funding Opportunity at www.grants.gov/search-results-detail/360861. Please contact CoC Administrator Joseph Tielke joseph@sdhda.org for further technical assistance and instruction.
An informational meeting is being hosted on Nov. 21, 2025, at 1 p.m. Central Time via Microsoft Teams.
