Please check back to this page frequently for updates and ensure that you refresh the page upon each visit to clear cache and see the most recent updates.
UPDATE: On September 16th, the Appeal Court granted HUD its request for a Stay. On September 17th HUD re-opened the NOFO process with a deadline of September 20th, 2026. The timeline below has been updated to reflect the new deadline for submission.
Important Notice: On August 7th, 2026, a federal district court vacated HUD's FY 2026 Continuum of Care Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) in its entirety. As a result, the FL-509 local competition process was paused until further guidance was received by HUD on the process or re-issuance of the NOFO.
