  • Hello CoC Friends! 

    We are pleased to share that Threshold CoC is launching a Notice of Interest (NOI) process for the upcoming FY26 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO).

    The NOI is the first step for agencies and partners who are interested in participating in the FY26 CoC competition. While completing the NOI is not a commitment to apply, it helps the CoC better plan for the upcoming funding cycle and ensure all interested parties receive timely information.

    Why complete the NOI?
    By submitting the NOI form, you will be:

    • Added to a dedicated FY26 NOFO listserv

    • Included in communications about:

      • NOFO updates and timelines

      • Technical assistance opportunities

      • Helpful resources and guidance

      • Upcoming meetings and trainings

    We strongly encourage all agencies considering participation in the FY26 NOFO—whether applying for renewal, new, or reallocated projects—to complete the NOI prior to May 13, 2026. 

    Access the NOI form here

    Thank you for your continued partnership and commitment to ending homelessness in our community.

  • Dear Threshold CoC Partners,

    HUD has officially announced the FY2026 CoC NOFO competition timeline, with the NOFO release anticipated soon and application deadlines following HUD’s published schedule. We encourage all agencies, providers, and community partners interested in participating to begin preparing now.

    Threshold CoC is actively working to finalize a local “What to Expect” timeline that will outline key dates, requirements, and preparation steps for our community. This timeline is intended to help all prospective applicants prepare effectively, stay informed, and navigate the competition process with clarity.

    As part of this year’s planning, Threshold CoC will request a Notice of Interest (NOI) to help us identify organizations interested in participating. Links to sign up will be sent shortly. 

    What you can do now:

          • Review HUD’s FY2026 CoC NOFO timeline

          • Familiarize yourself with last year’s FY2025 NOFO materials (rescinded, but expected to remain        similar) to better understand expectations and requirements

          • Watch for Threshold CoC’s upcoming NOI announcement and local competition timeline

    Our goal is to ensure our community is informed, coordinated, and positioned for success. We appreciate your partnership and commitment to strengthening our local response to homelessness.

    More details, including Threshold CoC’s local process and deadlines, will be shared soon.
