FY2024 CoC Builds NOFO
What is the CoC Builds Grant?
The CoC Builds Grant is a HUD-facilitated funding opportunity. Funds may be awarded to competitive projects in CoC geographical areas that leverage funds for the construction, acquisition, or rehabilitation of Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) Units to ultimately reduce the number of folks experiencing homelessness. By leveraging these funds, communities can expand their housing capacity and offer long-term solutions to individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
What is PSH?
Eligibility for Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) typically targets individuals
and families where one or more family members are experiencing chronic homelessness and have a disability.
