FY26 Continuum of Care NOFO

KCRHA released the Local Competition on June 11, 2026. All submissions are due July, 3, 2026 by 11:59 PM PST.

Two information sessions for New and Bonus Projects will take place:

Each year, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides funding for homeless assistance programs authorized under the McKinney Vento Homeless Assistance Act, as amended by the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing (HEARTH) Act. These funds are awarded through a national competitive process outlined in the HUD FY 2026 Continuum of Care (CoC) Competition and Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP) Grants Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO).

The NOFO establishes requirements for Continuums of Care (CoCs) and for individual project applicants included in each CoC’s submission. In preparation for HUD’s FY 2026 NOFO, KCRHA—as the designated Collaborative Applicant for the Seattle-King County CoC—conducts an annual local competition and evaluation process.

Please direct your questions via email to coc.questions@kcrha.org.
