FY2025 Continuum of Care Notice of Funding Opportunity (CoC NOFO)
Contingency Planning Toolkit
The Contingency Planning Toolkit includes three components: the Landscape Assessment, the Decision Support Tool, and the Project Consideration Checklist. Together, they give communities a structured way to hold fact-based conversations grounded in information from local agencies. Communities need an accurate, shared understanding of how funding realignments will affect housing and other safety-net programs.
This toolkit is a starting point. It will only be tuned for your community if you adapt it to local realities. Every jurisdiction will feel the effects of shifts in federal funding, and each will need to decide how to address the gaps that emerge. To act effectively, leaders need a firm handle on the details and a clear sense of the consequences. What the community chooses to do with that understanding is the work ahead.
