The City of Boston Mayor’s Office of Housing (MOH) will accept applications for new and renewal Continuum of Care (CoC) projects that will provide permanent and transitional housing and supportive services to households experiencing homelessness. Selected applications will be included in a single citywide application to the US Office of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on behalf of the Boston CoC.
We estimate that the Boston CoC will have the following funding available to award through this Request for Applications:
The anticipated period of performance for each grant awarded by HUD will be a 12-month grant between May 1, 2027 and December 31, 2028. Only non-profit organizations and units of local government are eligible to apply.
Applicants are required to attend at least one info session (see Section 3: Timeline), since we anticipate the CoC26 NOFO will have substantial changes from typical NOFOs. These are an opportunity for applicants who have questions to get guidance and technical assistance from MOH in planning and completing their application.
Applications must be submitted through the Mayor’s Office of Housing RFP and Grant Application Submission Form no later than 4:00pm on Monday, June 29, 2026. Be sure to select “FY26 CoC New and Renewal Project Applications” where it asks for the name of the RFP/Grant Application you are submitting a proposal for. Submitting an application requires a G-Suite or Gmail account. If you do not have access to a G-Suite or Gmail account, visit accounts.google.com/signup to create your own free account in advance of the proposal due date.
AOP is available on a rolling basis after the completion of a Pilot Round that allows new development teams to apply to become an AOP Developer and to allow for rolling basis of applications indefinitely or until funds are depleted.
