Local Competition

To prepare for the release of the 2026 NOFO, the NYC CoC held a local competition for new project funding from 4/13/26-5/4/26. The NYC CoC held office hours on 4/17, 4/24 and 5/1 to support the application process.

Complete applications will first be reviewed to ensure they meet threshold criteria, before being read and scored by a New Project Review Committee. The CoC will share updated information with new project applicants once the 2026 NOFO is released.
