CoC NOFO

FY 2025 HUD CoC NOFO Update

January 23, 2026

The West Virginia Balance of State (WV BoS) Continuum of Care (CoC) Collaborative Applicant (WV Coalition to End Homelessness), is providing notice to the public and CoC stakeholders regarding the FY 2025 HUD CoC Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO).

Following the release of the FY 2025 CoC NOFO on January 9, 2026, the Collaborative Applicant and the WV BoS CoC Rating and Ranking Subcommittee conducted a review of the NOFO requirements and timeline. Based on this review, and with approval from the WV BoS CoC Steering Committee, the CoC has determined that it is in the best interest of the CoC not to move forward with reallocation during the FY 2025 funding cycle.

While reallocation is permitted under the NOFO, pursuing it during this funding cycle would require a full local competition, including the rating and ranking of all projects, without the availability of any bonus funding opportunities. Due to ongoing delays and a compressed HUD submission timeline (applications due February 9, 2026), this process would leave impacted projects with less than one year to prepare for potential funding loss. The CoC determined that proceeding under these conditions could pose increased operational risks, including service disruptions, staffing instability, interruptions in payments to landlords, and impacts to housing or supportive services for program participants.

The CoC’s primary concern is maintaining continuity of care and avoiding harm to individuals and families currently being served. Stability for existing projects is especially critical under the current timeline.

As a result, the WV BoS CoC will:

• Work to maintain stability for currently funded projects
• Monitor project performance throughout the year
• Prepare for a more strategic and competitive reallocation process during the FY 2026 CoC Competition

Consistent with CoC program requirements and local performance review practices, the CoC intends to invite both FY 2025 renewal applicants and new project applicants to participate in the FY 2026 CoC Competition when the CoC expects to conduct a full and deliberate review process, including reallocation of low performing projects.

The WV BoS CoC Steering Committee formally approved this decision on January 22, 2026, including the decision to maintain the FY 2024 Priority Listing and renew all projects without reallocation for FY 2025. The Steering Committee approval letter is available below, and the FY 2024 Priority Listing can be found further down this page under the Fiscal Years 2024-2025 section.

We recognize the time and effort agencies invest in planning and proposal development and appreciate the community’s understanding as we prioritize stability, continuity of care, and the well-being of people experiencing homelessness across the CoC.

Fiscal Year 2020
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the FY20 funding renewed grants for existing programs. This process was dramatically streamlined because communities have been and will continue to be consumed with COVID-19 response and have limited capacity to participate in the traditional CoC competition.
