FY26 CoC Program Local Competition Documents Now Available

Overview

The Louisiana Housing Corporation (LHC), on behalf of the Louisiana Balance of State Continuum of Care (LA BOSCOC), opened its local competition for funding available under the Funding Year (FY) 2026 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) on June 26, 2026. Project applications for funding through this local competition are due to LHC no later than 11p CST July 20, 2026.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) released its FY 2026 CoC Program NOFO on June 1, 2026.

The LA BOSCOC will publish available funding amounts once they are released by HUD.

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 and via its email distribution list. Click here to subscribe to the LA BOSCOC’s email distribution list.
