The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced the release of the Continuum of Care (CoC) Supplemental to Address Unsheltered and Rural Homelessness (CoC Special NOFO) on June 22, 2022. As part of the CoC Special NOFO application process, CoCs are tasked with developing a CoC plan for serving individuals and families experiencing homelessness with severe service needs (CoC Plan).

The Orange County CoC invites your participation and feedback at an upcoming listening session. Listening sessions will provide an overview of the CoC Plan requirements as outlined in the CoC Special NOFO application and allow space for recommendations for specific components of the plan to be developed.
