FY2026 Continuum of Care Competition NOFO

HUD has released the Continuum of Care FY2026 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) through which our CoC projects are renewed. You can see the NOFO here. 

The due date for New, Renewal, and Replacement project applications to be submitted to CMHA: The Housing Alliance is July 24, 2026. Please complete these applications in e-snaps, but do not hit submit. We will inform you as soon as the applications are ready. All applicants should prepare to submit a new or renewal application that addresses how they are going to engage program participants in supportive services that enhance self-sufficiency and increase income growth from employment over government benefits. The deadline for the Collaborative Application to be submitted by CMHA: The Housing Alliance is August 24, 2026.

Additional information, to include RFP's will be distributed as it becomes available. Please watch for CMHA emails with information, timelines, and links.

The Worcester CoC strives to increase interests from as broad a community representation as possible to participate in the efforts to end homelessness in Worcester County, and invite all CoC- and ESG-funded and all other interested organizations to join us. 

Please forward this correspondence as an open invitation to anyone you feel would add to our collective voice in support of the Worcester CoC's Mission to end homelessness in Worcester County through a coordinated system of housing services that ensure the safety and long-term stability of homeless families and individuals.
