Greetings MACCH Colleagues,
The U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development has released their FY 2023 HUD Continuum of Care (CoC) Program Notice of Funding Availability (aka NOFO). MACCH, along with our partners at Diana T. Meyers and Associates (DMA), will be hosting an informational webinar on Thursday, 7/20/2023 from 11am – 12:30pm, which will cover the details of this federal funding source. Information for both renewal grantees and information for agencies considering CoC Bonus (aka “new”) project funding, as well as funding under the NOFO’s Domestic Violence (DV) Bonus funding, will be covered in this webinar. This is an informational meeting open to all interested parties and will also be shared on MACCH’s social media accounts. The HUD CoC Program NOFO funds permanent housing projects dedicated to serving individuals and households experiencing literal homelessness and fleeing DV in Douglas, Sarpy and Pottawattamie Counties, in addition to critical CoC infrastructure such as Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) and Coordinated Entry (CE) infrastructure.
This email serves as public notice that MACCH, as the continuum’s (NE-501) Collaborative Applicant, will be holding an informational meeting regarding this funding and soliciting for new projects under both the CoC Bonus and DV Bonus funding opportunities. MACCH highly encourages all CoC partner organizations and agencies interested in this funding opportunity to join us for this webinar to learn more about potential projects that will fund opportunities for individuals experiencing homelessness.
Following this webinar, MACCH will publish our official NOFO timeline, as well as all necessary supporting documents (including new and renewal project application documents) on our website, under the “Current Initiatives and Data” tab and the heading of “Federal Funding”. Please check back to this link regularly for the most recent documents and information. A recording of the webinar will also be posted after completion. For questions related to the FY 2023 NOFO, please contact Lisa Vukov, MACCH Director of Programs & Compliance (lvukov@endhomelessnesstoday.org), as well as Taylor Novak, MACCH Program Assistant (tnovak@endhomelessnesstoday.org).
We welcome any inquiries to this process and look forward to submitting a highly competitive application on behalf of our Continuum! We hope you can join us on Thursday, 7/20/2023, and please be on the lookout for additional information regarding the FY 2023 NOFO to be forthcoming via this email listserv!
