Active Grant Opportunities

 
Fiscal Year 2026 Homeless Continuum of Care Competition Coming Soon
 
The County of San Luis Obispo, as the Collaborative Applicant for the San Luis Obispo County Continuum of Care, is accepting Notices of Interest (NOI) from organizations interested in applying for funding from Fiscal Year 2026 Continuum of Care grant.  The CoC Program is a competitive federal grant, administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and is designed to support community-wide commitment efforts to end homelessness.  The grant provides funding to rehouse homeless individuals, families, persons fleeing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, and youth; to promote access to and effective utilization of mainstream programs by homeless individuals and families; and to optimize self-sufficiency among those experiencing homelessness.  

More information about the CoC program and eligible activities is available at https://www.hudexchange.info/programs/coc/.
