FY2025 CoCBuilds NOFO Released

FY2025 CoCBuilds NOFO Released

The Wyoming Continuum of Care (WYCoC) is providing notice that HUD has released the FY2025 CoCBuilds NOFO, which replaces the previously submitted FY2024 application. Despite the significant effort invested in the FY2024 submission, that funding opportunity was not awarded due to changes at the federal level.

Organizations interested in applying under the new FY2025 NOFO should review the updated materials carefully. Please follow the links below for the official NOFO notice and the WYCoC Letter of Intent with instructions.

The application window for this grant is short. Wyoming CoC is working with HUD to get more information about the e-snaps process. We will share guidance and tutorials as soon as they are available.
Open office hours will be held to help with e-snaps. Dates will be posted on May 27, 2024.
