The SYSTEM (Strengthening Your System to Energize Momentum) Series is designed to help communities more effectively end homelessness by providing tools to help communities:
- Identify areas where they can make the most meaningful improvements to their systems;
- Continuously execute on those improvements for the greatest impact, and
- Leverage their Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) application for the CoC Program competition to kick-start efforts to build a more effective system.
The SYSTEM Series update includes updates on emerging priorities that all effective homeless response systems must be prepared to address, as well as insights on issues and areas that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has prioritized in the CoC Program Competition NOFO.

This webinar was recorded for the FY 2022 NOFO application process, but serves as a baseline for understanding HUD’s CoC NOFO priorities.
