Eastern PA CoC - Renewal and New Project Selection and Ranking

Dear Eastern PA Continuum of Care grantees, members and stakeholders:

Below is an important notice regarding the FY 2024 CoC NOFO Competition.

This email summarizes the list and status of all projects submitted to the Eastern PA CoC as part of the FY2024 CoC NOFO competition. This includes: renewal projects that have been accepted for funding at their full renewal amount; renewal projects that have been accepted but partially reallocated; renewal projects fully reallocated; new projects accepted for funding at or above the requested amount. There were no new project applications approved for less than the requested budget or that were not selected for funding.  

At this link you can find the ranking/tiering of all accepted projects, to be submitted to HUD later this month on the Eastern PA CoC 2024 Project Priority List. 
 
Please note that organizations with renewal projects subject to full or partial reallocation, and those that submitted a new project application that was not selected or approved at a reduced amount, have been informed of the CoC’s decision prior to the distribution of this email.
