HUD NOFO UPDATE as of 12/20/2025
HUD released an updated FY 2025 CoC & YHDP NOFO (FR-6901-N-25), which includes litigation-related language and revised framing. The CoC is proceeding with administrative updates consistent with HUD guidance.
Pending judicial review, the revised NOFO will be due in two parts to HUD. The first part will be due on Jan 28th, 2026 and will consist of the project priority ranks, consolidated application, and the planning grant application. The second optional part will be due on Feb 25th, 2026 and will consist of any NEW permanent supportive housing applications ranked by the Rank and Review Committee and the limited project priority ranking.
The rank and review committee met and scored project applications on Thursday, December 18th, 2025. Projects submitted all met the threshold for HUD funding, and retain that threshold in this newest NOFO. As such, the Mountainland Continuum of Care will open a brief window for new project applications that align with HUD requirements, but projects already scored will retain their scores and relative ranks. Project scores and ranks are finalized and will remain embargoed until all new projects received are scored. For submitted projects to be revised, there must be material changes requested in the project eligibility or component type and would need to be approved by the Rank and Review Committee.
Our timeline and procedures for the NOFO (subject to change by HUD) stand as follows:
