Community Alliance for the Homeless (CAFTH) is sharing the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s 2026 Continuum of Care (CoC) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) competition process, released on June 1, 2026. Agencies interested in applying for new or renewal project funding are encouraged to review the timeline below and participate in all applicable information sessions and technical assistance opportunities. The NOFO competition is an important opportunity for our community to secure funding that supports programs and services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness throughout Shelby County.

Stay Informed

CAFTH encourages all project applicants, stakeholders, and community partners to remain engaged throughout the competition process. Additional guidance, application materials, and meeting information will be distributed as they become available. Questions regarding the 2026 NOFO competition may be directed to the CAFTH Planning Department or directly to HUD, AAQ (ask a Question) – email CoCNOFO@HUD.gov or 1(800)483-8929

Together, we can continue strengthening our community’s response to homelessness and expand access to safe, stable housing throughout Memphis and Shelby County.
