FY 22 HUD Special Funding Opportunity
The purpose of this Special NOFO to Address Unsheltered and Rural Homelessness (Special NOFO) is to target efforts to reduce unsheltered homelessness, particularly in communities with very high levels of unsheltered homelessness and homelessness in rural areas. Through this Special NOFO, HUD will award funding to communities to implement coordinated approaches — grounded in Housing First and public health principles — to reduce the prevalence of unsheltered homelessness, and improve services engagement, health outcomes, and housing stability among highly vulnerable unsheltered individuals and families. HUD expects applicant communities to partner with health and housing agencies to leverage mainstream housing and healthcare resources. Under this special NOFO HUD will fund projects in these components:
- Permanent Housing, including:
- Permanent Supportive Housing
- Rapid-Rehousing
- Joint Transitional Housing and Rapid Rehousing
- Supportive Services Only, including:
- Coordinated Entry
- Street Outreach
- Other Supportive Services
- HMIS
If HUD awards funds, the maximum amount available to Kalamazoo County is $1,955,606. This amount is for the Unsheltered Homelessness set aside only; no projects may apply under the rural set aside.
All project applications must be submitted via e-snaps (detailed instructions attached). Please submit this supplemental local application in PDF format.
