The FY2023 CoC Competition is OPEN!
Letters of Intent for both NOFOs are due July 26, 2023 (see below).
Project Applications for both NOFOs are due in e-snaps on August 21, 2023.
The Consolidated Application for the Regular NOFO is due September 28, 2023.
Please read the applicable NOFO in its entirety, so you are well-prepared for the FY23 Competition application process regardless of having been through this process before or not.
All applications must be submitted to the CoC in e-snaps. HUD has the ability to see the timestamp of the applications back and forth between the applicant and the CoC. This is the only way HUD assures that the CoC has met the deadlines established in the NOFO. Please do not wait until August 21st to start your application! For detailed instructions on how to access the Project Application under one or both funding opportunities, please follow the directions found here.
At the same time that each Project Application (NEW under the Special and Regular NOFOs OR RENEWAL under the Regular NOFO) is applying for funding, the CoC Staff are diligently writing the two separate Consolidated Applications on behalf of the entire CoC. The Collaborative Application (WVCEH) details what we are doing as a system to end homelessness. The scoring criteria for the Consolidated Application under the Special NOFO begins on page 39 and for the Regular NOFO begins on page 62. Please take a look at this information its entirety and ensure your Project Application is doing everything in its power to assist the CoC to be as strong as possible. CoC funding is awarded nationally from the highest scoring to the lowest scoring CoC. If we are low scoring as a Collaborative Applicant, then our likelihood of getting Tier 2 funding (under the Regular NOFO) or funding through the Special NOFO is less.

Funding Available
- Final: WV Balance of State’s Annual Renewal Demand – $5,781,974 (This is the total amount that Renewal Project Applicants under this CoC NOFO are eligible to apply for.)
FY23 CoC NOFO
-
- Tier 1 = 93% of Annual Renewal Demand ($5,377,235) – YHDP ARA ($1,268,692) = $4,108,543
- Tier 2: Remaining 7% ARD ($404,739) + DV Bonus Available ($477,980) + CoC Bonus Available ($404,738) = $1,287,125
- CoC Bonus – CoC’s are allowed to apply for up to 7% of their Annual Renewal Demand as bonus funding for PSH, RRH, Joint TH-RRH, HMIS, SSO for CES. The WV Balance of State’s allowable bonus total will be $404,738. This is what we can apply for in NEW funding without taking funding from an existing renewal project through reallocation.
- DV Bonus – CoC’s are allowed to apply for 10% of the Preliminary Pro Rata Need (PPRN) = $477,980 for the WV BoS CoC
- While the NOFO states that DV Bonus project may be ranked anywhere on the Priority Listing (Tier 1 or Tier 2), if the CoC scores low as a whole and does not get Tier 2 projects funded, and a DV Bonus has been placed into Tier 1, that project has the likelihood of knocking out an existing renewal project from the BoS CoC’s inventory. Therefore, that renewal project would not receive funding, but the new DV project would. The clients in the renewal project would no longer be served. The Ranking and Rating Committee will be reviewing the continued capacity and performance history of existing renewal projects and will determine where to place renewals and DV Bonuses in the coming weeks.
NOTE: HUD identified an error on the Grant Inventory Worksheet for renewal projects applying for the FY23 CoC funding for all projects with non-competitive YHDP funding. This has impacted the WV BoS CoC’s Annual Renewal Demand. We have recalculated Tier 1 and 2, CoC Bonus and Planning funding, and sent these new amounts to the ranking committee for review and project applicants to update their budgets. Please note that these changes did not change project rank order.Updated ARD: $5,755,394Adjusted ARD:$4,513,282 (ARD minus new YHDP non-competitive renewal amount $1,242,112)Tier 1 Amount: $4,197,352Tier 2 Amount: $315,930CoC Bonus: $477,980DV Bonus: $402,878 (stayed the same)Planning: $287,770

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.
