Funding Opportunities
CoC FL-507 issues RFA for 2026 HUD NOFO homeless-assistance grants
Posted Wednesday, June 24, 2026. Completed applications due Friday, July 17, 2026, by 5 p.m. EDT. Applications must be emailed to application@hsncfl.org by the deadline.
The Central Florida Commission on Homelessness (CoC FL-507) has issued a request for proposals to local homeless-assistance providers seeking funding under the region’s application to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's 2026 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO).
It is strongly recommended that any organization planning to apply for a share of that funding — whether doing so for the first time or hoping to renew a current project — sign up for a training session provided by the Homeless Services Network, the lead agency for the Central Florida Continuum of Care (FL-507). The continuum covers all of Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties and the cities of Orlando, Kissimmee and Sanford. Note these grants are open only to nonprofit organizations, not to individuals.
Training sessions will be held:
Thursday, June 25, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Tuesday, June 30, 10 a.m. to noon.
Thursday, July 2, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. (online only)
To register for training, send an email to application@hsncfl.org and note in the subject line the date of the session you'd like to attend. Be sure to include your full name and the name of your organization in the email itself. If you would prefer an in-person option for the June 25 or June 30 sessions, please note that as well, and we will do our best to make those sessions hybrid.
