• Phone script: “I am disappointed that the Department of Housing and Urban Development continues to impose unnecessary delays and conditions on critical funding processes tied to homeless assistance funding.  Recently, HUD issued a Notice of Funding Opportunity for FY2025 Continuum of Care Builds funds—a special funding opportunity to create more Permanent Supportive Housing—for the third time.    
  
  We cannot let HUD place this funding (and future CoC funding) at risk for providers and the people they serve. 
  
  Please tell your boss – and your staffer who handles housing issues – to urge HUD to nullify the CoC Builds NOFO and to hold HUD accountable for ensuring fair and transparent processes that follow the direction of Congress and. Otherwise, your community’s access to HUD homelessness dollars is at risk.
