NOTICE OF FUNDING OPPORTUNITY
FY 2026 HUD Continuum of Care Program
Request for Proposals
NEW and RENEWAL
Housing and Supportive Services Projects
City of St. Louis Subrecipient
The City of St. Louis Department of Human Services (DHS) announce this notice seeking
proposals for Renewal and New Projects for the following U. S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) competition. Applicants applying for 2026 CoC funds that want to
be a subrecipient of the City must follow separate instructions during this CoC competition,
pursuant to this Request for Proposals. After the City Selection Committee reviews and selects
proposals, the Department of Human Services (DHS) will forward selected applications to the
MO-501 Continuum of Care Collaborative Applicant, Peter & Paul Community Services, for
submission to the selected Review & Rank Committee.
1. What’s New in the 2026 CoC Competition
There are VERY SIGNIFICANT changes in the FY2026 Continuum of Care Program Notice of
Funding Opportunity compared to the last competition in 2024, reflecting both federal policy
and priority shifts in HUD.
ALL APPLICANTS SHOULD READ THE NOFO IN ITS ENTIRETY.
Links to all NOFO documents are found on the Grants.GOV website at: FY2026 HUD Continuum
of Care NOFO Published by HUD, click on “Related Documents” to see all the forms. NOTE:
Though the NOFO materials are posted on Grants.gov, the application process for the CoC
NOFO is found on the eSNAPS application portal at
https://www.hudexchange.info/programs/e-snaps/
THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES HANDLES ALL eSNAPS REQUIREMENTS FOR CITY
SUBRECIPIENTS. Subrecipients of the City of St. Louis will work with Department of Human
Services in completing applications in eSNAPS.
A PDF copy of the FY2026 CoC NOFO announcement can also be found on the City of St. Louis
Collaborative Applicant website at: http://www.STLCoC.org
City of St. Louis Subrecipient - Continuum of Care FY2026 RFP 4
Important Changes for 2026 Include:
• Peter and Paul Community Services now serves as the City of St. Louis CoC
Collaborative Applicant and will manage the NOFO Process.
• Subrecipients of the City of St. Louis must communicate directly with the City HSD
Division in renewing or creating subrecipient projects with the City and meet all
their application requirements, as listed within this RFP.
• Estimate ARD is $15,973,367.001. Tier 1 of the ranking process priority list is only
60% of the community’s Annual Renewal Demand - Estimate $9,584,020– this is a
significant decrease from 2024 (90% of ARD), which means that the amount of
funding in Tier 2 has increased to Estimate of $6,389,347. Tier 2 funding is at higher
risk of not being funded in the overall national competition.
• HUD is accepting new Transitional Housing (24 CFR § 578.37(a)(2). In a transition
project, the first year of operation of the transition project begins one day after the
expiration of the original grant and that the first year is used to fully transition to the
new component type.
• HUD is accepting new Supportive Services Only (Street Outreach and Stand Alone)
project applications. A Stand Alone project provides direct supportive services to
households experiencing homelessness (Category 1, 2 and 4) with services not
attached to housing unit. These projects can include outreach, case management,
supportive services (and referrals, and can be operated at a central site, multiple
scattered sites, or even in a mobile "street outreach" model. (24 CFR 578.53).
• HUD is NOT accepting new Joint TH/RRH projects with CoC reallocation or CoC
Bonus Funds. Only DV Bonus funds may be used for this component type.
• There is a DV Bonus this year of an estimated $2,693,656 (20% of PPRN). DV Bonus
and DV Reallocation may be used to create new Rapid Re-housing (PH-RRH) or new
Transitional Housing (TH) projects.
• There is a CoC Bonus again this year of an estimated $2,396,005 (15% of FPRN). CoC
Bonus funds may only be used to create new Supportive Services Only projects (SSO-
street outreach, SSO-Stand-alone); Transitional Housing, Permanent Supportive Housing
and Rapid Rehousing.
• HUD Project Threshold Reviews – The NOFO includes specific project level threshold
review criteria, merit review, and risk review with points to establish threshold
1 HUD has not yet issued the GIW, PPRN, ARD and FPRN calculations to determine the actual funds available.
