HUD announced a new $4.04 billion Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) through the Continuum of Care (CoC) homelessness assistance program.

What They’re Saying: Secretary Scott Turner stated upon release:

“The ‘housing first’ experiment failed Americans by warehousing the vulnerable without results. This ideology promised to end homelessness. Instead, billions of taxpayer dollars were spent while homelessness increased to record levels. Housing alone will not solve a crisis driven by addiction and mental illness. Under President Trump’s leadership, HUD is making necessary reforms to put recovery first.” 

According to HUD, the NOFO:

  • Invests in recovery and self-sufficiency,
  • Advances outcomes through competition, and
  • Roots out waste, fraud, and abuse.

Responses are due August 26, 2026.
