FY 2024 and FY 2025 Continuum of Care Public Notice

2024 Rutherford County Continuum of Care With Timeline and Deadlines (TN-510)

The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has released its 2024 Continuum of Care Notice of Funding Opportunity (CoC NOFO), which is a nation-wide competition for funding to support certain homelessness-related housing, services and other related resources. Cities and localized regions across the country form collaborative “Continuum of Care” bodies to facilitate coordinated applications for this funding. Rutherford County Tennessee have one such CoC body, in the form of Rutherford Thrives. United Way of South Central Tennessee has been designated as this CoC’s “Collaborative Applicant” for the purposes of directly coordinating the application submission process. One major change from last year is that HUD now reserves the right to award FY 2025 funding based on the 2024 NOFO, i.e., it is likely that our CoC’s collaborative application this year will determine two years of funding instead of just one.

HUD’s 2024 CoC NOFO includes deadlines for submitting a collaborative application package as well as other procedural deadlines required to carry out the collaborative process prior to the final submission deadline.The Rutherford Thrives (TN-510) will seek to meet or exceed HUD’s required deadlines in order to carry out an open and fair application process. The 2024 timeline will therefore include local deadlines that may occur before HUD’s required deadlines. Applicants seeking inclusion in the 2024 Rutherford Thrives CoC Collaborative Application will be required to meet the local process timelines and deadlines.
