FY 2021 Local Competition Webinar - Slides and Recording Now Available

Overview

The Louisiana Housing Corporation (LHC), on behalf of the Louisiana Balance of State Continuum of Care (LA BOSCOC), has opened its local competition for funding available under the Funding Year (FY) 2021 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO).

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) released its FY 2021 CoC Program NOFO in August 18, 2021. The CoC Program funds eligible organizations to provide housing and supportive services to people experiencing homelessness, including people fleeing domestic violence.

Through its local competition, the LA BOSCOC expects to make approximately $23 million available, including approximately $2 million for new projects.

The LA BOSCOC welcomes and encourages applicants that have not previously received CoC Program funding to apply.

The LA BOSCOC will publish all information about its local competition on its website at https://laboscoc.org/fy21-coc-program-competition and via its email distribution list. Click here to subscribe to the LA BOSCOC’s email distribution list.
