On June 22, 2022, HUD released a special NOFO to Address Unsheltered and Rural Homelessness (Special NOFO) to target efforts to reduce unsheltered homelessness, particularly in communities with very high levels of unsheltered homelessness and homelessness in rural areas. Through this Special NOFO, HUD will award funding to communities to implement coordinated approaches - - grounded in Housing First and public health principles - - to reduce the prevalence of unsheltered homelessness, and improve services engagement, health outcomes, and housing stability among unsheltered individuals and families. HUD expects applicant communities to partner with health and housing agencies to leverage mainstream housing and healthcare resources.
