HUD announces Continuum of Care Awards
Apr.01.2022
Last month, HUD announced the Continuum of Care Awards for the FY 2021 competition, totaling $2.6 billion nationally. In New York State, 24 CoCs received $261 million, a 6% increase over the prior year. NYC won $145 million, a 5% increase. Most of the funding supports existing permanent supportive housing rental assistance programs, so the funding increases largely support increased Fair Market Rents. Congrats to all CoCs and funded programs. Please contact spiasecki@shnny.org with details about this funding, as we gear up for another federal budget year.
