Continuum of Care Program

HUD announced $3.6 billion in funding through a competitive process to distribute Fiscal Year 2024 appropriated funds to CoC grant recipients, including approximately $193 million in funding for Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP) renewal and replacement projects, and $62 million in funding for projects that provide housing and services to people fleeing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking.

The Continuum of Care (CoC) Program is designed to promote a community-wide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness; to provide funding for efforts by nonprofit providers, states, Indian Tribes or tribally designated housing entities (as defined in section 4 of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (25 U.S.C. 4103) (TDHEs)), and local governments to quickly rehouse homeless individuals, families, persons fleeing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, and youth while minimizing the trauma and dislocation caused by homelessness; to promote access to and effective utilization of mainstream programs by homeless individuals and families; and to optimize self-sufficiency among those experiencing homelessness.

The goal of the Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP) is to support the development and implementation of a coordinated community approach to preventing and ending youth homelessness and sharing that experience with and mobilizing communities around the country toward the same end. The population served by YHDP is youth experiencing homelessness, including unaccompanied and pregnant or parenting youth.

CoC Program Competition Registration

Each fiscal year, HUD requires each CoC's designated Collaborative Applicant to register in advance of applying for funding available under the CoC Program Competition. As stated in Notice CPD-22-02: Continuum of Care Program Registration, existing Collaborative Applicants are not required to complete the registration process unless they have changes to geographic codes, have merged, or intend to apply for Unified Funding Agency (UFA) and/or High Performing Community (HPC) designations.

For FY 2025 HUD moved the previous year's CoC Program Registration forward on behalf of each CoC designated Collaborative Applicant. Additionally, Collaborative Applicants that were designated by HUD as a UFA during the FY 2024 Registration process maintained their UFA designation for FY 2025.
