The Trump administration will renew its effort to change the approach to the nation’s largest homelessness assistance program with a request for funding that will be released next month.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development said it will publish the 2026 Continuum of Care Notice of Funding Opportunity by June 1. The CoC provides grants to states, local governments and nonprofit organizations that sponsor programs to reduce homelessness.
The department said in a Thursday press release the CoC’s goal is to “optimize self-sufficiency” and increase investment in transitional housing and supportive services, such as street outreach, childcare, outpatient addiction treatment and job training. The grants would fund programs for the 2027 calendar year.
