Through the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) 2023 Continuum of Care Program Competition, the Arizona Department of Housing (ADOH) as the United Funding Agency for the Arizona Balance of State Continuum of Care (AZBOSCOC) expects to conditionally allocate up to an estimated $5.7 million through the Continuum of Care process. This amount includes an estimated $5 million in potential renewal of existing grants, approximately $353,964 for new/bonus project(s), and approximately $432,607 for bonus projects that are dedicated to serving survivors of domestic violence. Final award amounts will be based on HUD funding availability as well as AZBOSCOC performance in the HUD Continuum of Care (CoC) competitive national funding process. Projects must serve individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the AZBOSCOC geographic area that includes the 13 counties of Apache, Cochise, Coconino, Gila, Graham, Greenlee, La Paz, Mohave, Navajo, Pinal, Santa Cruz, Yavapai, and Yuma.
Eligible Applicants: Eligible renewal applicants are those current AZBOSCOC funded programs with grant expiration dates in the calendar year 2024. Eligible applicants for new/bonus project funding including the DV bonus funding include non-profits, recognized Tribal Nations, and instrumentalities of state or local government regardless of prior CoC funding.
CoC and DV Bonus project applications are due August 24, 2023, by 5:00pm and must be submitted through ADOH Special Needs Portal.
