Continuum of Care (CoC) Builds NOFO

We are now accepting proposals for the CoCBuilds NOFO.
Proposals must be submitted by Friday, October 18, 2024, at 3:00 pm EST.

Through this request for proposals, the Mayor’s Office of Homeless Services (MOHS), in partnership with the Baltimore City Continuum of Care, is seeking written proposals from one qualified applicant for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Continuum of Care (CoC) Builds Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). The NOFO makes available approximately $175 million to “address and reduce persons experiencing homelessness by adding new units of permanent supportive housing (PSH) through new construction, acquisition, or rehabilitation through one-time CoCBuilds awards under the CoC Program”.

It is expected that the selected applicant will provide both supportive services and property management services. Therefore, proposals should include a developer, property manager, and service provider, either with a memorandum of understanding(s) (MOU) between two or more organizations or within the same organization.

During the conference, staff will be available to answer questions about application requirements, evaluation criteria, program regulations, and eligibility for funding. Attendees will also have the opportunity to discuss the proposed project in further detail.
