The Continuum of Care (CoC) Program is the largest source of funds for homeless assistance in the country and proposed changes could lead to dramatic cuts.

Go Deeper:

  1. Congress has historically renewed project-based rental assistance programs, including CoC; failure to continue this practice will threaten the viability of existing supportive housing.
  2. President Trump’s Executive Order signaled large shifts in the federal response to homelessness.
  3. In our September 17 edition, we covered a CoC lawsuit and subsequent temporary restraining order against the Trump Administration on other CoC Builds Funds.

What’s Next: If you use CoC funds and/or are concerned about this change in funding, please reach out to your Congressional members’ housing staff to voice your support for a no cost provision requiring HUD to renew all existing Continuum of Care grants expiring during calendar year 2026 for a 12-month period.
