Background:

In July 2024, HUD released the CoCBuilds Notice of Funding Opportunity (CoCBuilds NOFO). This is a first-of-its-kind funding opportunity for new construction, acquisition, or rehabilitation of permanent supportive housing. Through one-time awards under the CoC program, this NOFO will enable communities to develop new units of rental housing with supportive services for people experiencing homelessness.

The Western PA CoC is soliciting applications to develop new units of Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH). The CoC will select one (1) project to submit to HUD for funding consideration through this opportunity (maximum project budget: $7.5M). Additional details can be found in the Request for Proposals (RFP), which is linked below.

Materials:

To apply, an application and proposed budget must be submitted by 5pm on Thursday, October 3rd via Alchemer (online application portal).  RFP and application materials can be found below:
