HUD’s Continuum of Care Program Competition

Each year, the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) makes available federal resources for homeless services to communities around the nation through its Continuum of Care Program Competition. CoC’s access these funds by completing a Consolidated Application on behalf of the local homeless service provider agencies. Any agency located in the CoC service area interested in applying for these funds must participate in local homeless planning efforts and TCHC’s local CoC Competition for funding. As such, it is the responsibility, annually, of the CoC to ensure that the best possible applications are submitted to HUD.
