2026 CoC Local Competition
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) released the 2026 Continuum of Care (CoC) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) on June 1, 2026, officially launching this year’s national competition. Each year, approximately 385 CoCs across the country come together to strengthen local systems, expand resources, and improve outcomes for people experiencing homelessness. This year, HUD is making approximately $4 billion available to support these efforts.
The Community Action Partnership of Solano, Joint Powers Authority (CAP Solano JPA) is the Collaborative Applicant for the Vallejo/Solano County CoC.
As the Solano County’s local competition begins, CAP Solano JPA is committed to ensuring that all community partners—large or small, new or long‑standing—have access to the information and tools needed to participate.
All HUD 2026 NOFO materials are now available in the public resource folder.
Inside the folder, you’ll find:
- 2026 HUD NOFO Letter of Intent - Deadline: June 29, 2026 at 12:00 PM (noon) PST
- 2026 CoC‑Approved Solano Competition Policies and Scoring Tools for New and Renewal Projects
- June 18, 2026 Technical Assistance (TA) Workshop slide deck and recording
- TA Handbook Cover Page
- TA Handbook
- Solano NOFO Timeline
- Solano CoC NOFO Summary
All community organizations are encouraged—especially those serving people experiencing homelessness or working toward housing stability—to review the materials and reach out with questions. Your participation strengthens our collective impact and ensures that Solano County continues to build a responsive, equitable, and community‑driven system of care.
Competition Overview HUD policy priorities in 2026 focus on:
- Improving outcomes (especially reducing unsheltered homelessness),
- Increasing competition among geographic areas,
- Promoting substance abuse treatment and recovery,
- Optimizing self-sufficiency,
- Advancing public safety,
- Minimizing trauma for vulnerable populations, and
- Expanding access to all applicants, including faith-based organizations, and all participants, regardless of race.
Funding Available The Vallejo/Solano CoC may apply for the following estimated awards:
- Tier 1 is equal to 60% of the CoC’s Annual Renewal Demand (ARD).
- No cap on Permanent Housing projects, but this NOFO provides a set-aside of $1,300,000,000 for new projects with a priority for Transitional Housing (TH) projects and Supportive Services Only (SSO) projects (32% of funding available) and a national floor of $430,000,000 for Permanent Housing for families with children, which may impact funding of Permanent Housing projects listed in Tier 2.
- To further increase competition, the CoC Bonus is up to 15% of the Final Pro Rata Need (FPRN), with a minimum of $500,000 and a maximum of $5,000,000 for most CoCs. Different floors/ceilings apply to CoCs that have split or merged or have newly registered as a Tribal CoC since FY 2023 CoC Registration (See pp. 11-12 of the NOFO.) This increases the amount of Bonus funding available to many smaller CoCs.
- CoCs may apply for the following types of new projects through the CoC Bonus and CoC Reallocation process: SSO projects, TH projects, Permanent Supportive Housing (PH-PSH) projects, Rapid Rehousing (PH-RRH) projects, Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) projects, and Supportive Services Only.
