Litigation Update

On August 7, 2026, the US District Court of Rhode Island issued summary judgment in the two lawsuits against HUD regarding the FY 2026 Continuum of Care (CoC) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO).

On September 16, 2026, the First Circuit Court of Appeals stayed the District Court’s ruling to vacate the 2026 CoC NOFO pending appeal.

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.

Note: The local competition is closed, and we are unable to accept new project applications at this time. The planning for the 2027 CoC NOFO and local competition will begin in early 2027. We encourage all prospective applicants to remain engaged and get involved!
