FY2025 Renewal Project Grant Agreements
HUD has indicated an intent to start issuing renewal grant agreements for FY2025 projects that have current end dates January - June 2026.
UPDATE 4/1/2026: On 3/31/2026, HUD sent a listserv communication announcing awards for current CoC funded projects that ended between January - March 2026. No information was given in that communication regarding projects ending April - June 2026.
HUD has requested the Court allow them to release an FY2025 NOFO (ie, reverse its Dec 2025 ruling) so that they can make awards for Q3 and Q4 projects under that NOFO
As of early March 2026 the Court has denied this request and HUD has appealed it.
UPDATE 4/1/2026: The Appeals Court denied HUD’s appeal to release an FY2025 CoC NOFO.
