HopePHL’s Public Statement on the Notice of Funding Opportunity from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development

The Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) released by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Continuums of Care (CoCs) outlines large-scale changes to funding strategy regarding affordable housing and homelessness in Philadelphia.1 We thank national advocacy partners National Alliance to End Homelessness and the Corporation for Supportive Housing for their leadership on this issue.

​These changes are of grave concern to housing and homeless services agencies in Philadelphia as HUD NOFOs guide the work of the region’s Continuum of Care (CoC). Philadelphia’s CoC is led by a Board made up of representatives of stakeholder groups: housing and homeless services providers, the Office of Homeless Services and other city departments, business owners, civic leaders and others, who devise housing and service strategies for preventing and eliminating homelessness based on the NOFOs criteria.
