Each year the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) releases a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the HUD Continuum of Care (CoC) Homeless Funds. HUD has not yet released their 2010 CoC NOFA, however, the Southern Nevada Regional Planning Coalition’s Committee on Homelessness (SNRPC-CoH), Continuum of Care (CoC) Evaluation Working Group is releasing a supplemental application as part of the Southern Nevada local process. Information from this supplemental application will be used to determine inclusion in the Consolidated Application to HUD for the Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance funds.

The Local Continuum of Care Project Application is mandatory for anyone who wishes to participate in this year’s Southern Nevada Consolidated application.
