Abstract: his Special NOFO will award recaptured Continuum of Care funding pursuant to section 231 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Appropriations Act, 2020 (42 U.S.C. 11364a; Public Law 116-94, approved December 20, 2019). Funding awarded through this NOFO will be targeted in two ways - (1) to CoCs who score well on the CoC application portion of the application with priority points for having large populations of people experiencing unsheltered homelessness; and (2) to rural areas

Emergency Justfication: Unsheltered homelessness is continuing to rise in many areas of the country and a recent analysis of homelessness data shows that people experiencing unsheltered homelessness report significantly greater health challenges and experiences of trauma and violence than their sheltered peers. These challenges often begin before they lose their housing
