Annually, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires each Continuum of Care (CoC) to apply for funding under the CoC Program Competition. The CoC Consolidated Application includes the CoC application and project applications for: new permanent supportive housing\/re-housing projects, reallocated projects, renewal projects, CoC Planning projects and Unified Funding Agency (UFA) costs.<\/p>\n
Annually, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) releases the Continuum of Care (CoC) Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). This year the grant competition was released on June 20th, 2018<\/strong>.\u00a0 The NOFA is available at https:\/\/www.hudexchange.info\/resources\/documents\/FY-2018-CoC-Program-Competition-NOFA.pdf<\/a> . \u00a0This competition brings funds into both the City and County of Milwaukee to provide housing and supportive services to individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness. The competitive application requires each local Continuum of Care to rank, score, and select new and renewal projects. The CoC must identify and describe the processes used for ranking, scoring, and selecting eligible projects.\u00a0 The process should be fair and impartial, inclusive of a public notification which lists the CoC\u2019s final determination on funded projects. \u00a0In the competition, the CoC has the option to re-allocate funds from CoC renewal projects to fund new projects, and to create a new project through the bonus competition. \u00a0New funding opportunities created through re-allocation, bonus, or DV bonus will only be available as stated in the NOFA document. This may change per competition. \u00a0This year, the NOFA states only the following are eligible for new projects through reallocation or bonus: Permanent Supportive Housing projects that meet the requirements of DedicatedPLUS as defined in Section III.C.3.f of this year\u2019s NOFA; new permanent housing projects where 100 percent of the beds are dedicated to individuals and families experiencing chronic homelessness; Rapid Re-Housing serving homeless individuals (including unaccompanied youth) and families, Joint TH and PH-RRH component project serving homeless individuals and families including those attempting to flee domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault or stalking who meet the criteria listed in V.B.3.a.3.c of this year\u2019s NOFA;, new projects for dedicated HMIS; and new Supportive Services Only (SSO) projects for centralized or coordinated assessment systems<\/strong>.\u00a0 The FY2018 NOFA Submission Timeline is as follows:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n FY 2018 NOFA Submission <\/strong><\/p>\n Milwaukee CoC <\/strong><\/p>\n Timeline<\/strong><\/p>\n 6\/20\/18<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 CoC NOFA Released by HUD.\u00a0 Please see grant information HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n 7\/10\/18<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 All Renewal, Reallocation and Bonus Intent to Apply form made available to CoC members, posted on CoC and CDGA websites, and sent out to CoC listserv subscribers.\u00a0 Please see intent to apply template for FY2018 for Renewal, Reallocation and Bonus (including DV Bonus) projects\u00a0form by clicking HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n 7\/16\/18<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MANDATORY: All preliminary <\/strong>“intent to apply” applications for renewal and reallocation projects due<\/p>\n 7\/20\/18<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MANDATORY: All preliminary <\/strong>“intent to apply” applications for Bonus and DV Bonus projects due<\/p>\n 7\/23\/18<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MANDATORY: NOFA Workgroup Meeting to discuss preliminary \u201cintent to apply\u201d applications<\/p>\n 7\/27\/18<\/strong> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Based on NOFA workgroup meeting discussion, Intent to Apply Form for CoC Funding from \u00a0 Reallocation (from lowest performing project) Released. \u00a0Please see intent to apply template for CoC funds made available through reallocating lowest performing CoC project by clicking HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n 8\/02\/18<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MANDATORY: All final<\/strong> \u201cintent to apply\u201d applications on forms released on 7\/10\/18 due for renewals, reallocations and bonuses.<\/p>\n 8\/06\/18 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>MANDATORY: All\u00a0final\u00a0<\/strong>“intent to apply” applications on form released on 8\/02\/18 due for applicants seeking CoC funds available due to reallocation of lowest-performing project.<\/p>\n 8\/08\/18<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MANDATORY: All renewal applications and voluntary reallocated project applications\u00a0to be uploaded into eSNAPS by 5:00 PM.<\/p>\n 8\/09\/18<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MANDATORY: Provider Advisory Committee Meeting \u2013 all \u201cintent to apply\u201d applications discussed, final recommendations prepared for CoC Board of Directors based on scoring\/ranking review<\/p>\n 8\/13\/18<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Complete the scoring and ranking of renewal, reallocation, bonus projects and DV bonus projects.\u00a0 The CoC scoring tool can be found here:\u00a0 2018 Scoring Tool by Project (Master)<\/a>.<\/p>\n 8\/16\/18<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MANDATORY: Board of Directors Special Meeting for NOFA including 5 minute project presentations from applicants<\/p>\n 8\/17\/18<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n 8\/29\/18 <\/strong>\u00a0 MANDATORY: All bonus, DV bonus & applications for CoC funds available due to reallocation to be uploaded into eSNAPS by 5:00 PM.<\/p>\n 8\/31\/18\u00a0 <\/strong>Lead Agency staff provides all final eSNAPS feedback to bonus applications, DV bonus\u00a0applications and applications for CoC funding available due to reallocation of lowest-performing project.<\/p>\n\n
