Keep People Home: Take Action to Protect Critical Homelessness Funding

Continuum of Care (CoC) programs help people experiencing homelessness access housing and critical supportive services. Existing grants begin expiring in January 2027, and communities face uncertainty about whether the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) will complete its FY2026 funding process in time. Congress can help prevent disruptions. We are asking Congress to include language in the December 11 Continuing Resolution requiring HUD to noncompetitively renew, for one 12-month period, all eligible CoC projects providing housing and supportive services that expire during calendar year 2027, including Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program and Shelter Plus Care projects, within 45 days of enactment.
