Issue of July 13, 2026
Two federal opportunities are open this week. The first is HUD's Continuum of Care and Youth Homelessness Demonstration competition. The second is an open Department of War NFO for STEM education and workforce programs. Both carry wide award ranges, and both leave room for Florida nonprofits with the right programs to compete.
New this week
FY 2026 Continuum of Care Competition and Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program Grants NOFO
- Funder: Department of Housing and Urban Development ·
CPD-2600-DC-0025 - Award: $2,500 – $25,000,000
- Deadline: Aug 26, 2026 — verified 2026-07-14 08:55
- Fits: Housing & homelessness · Statewide FL · orgs ~$500k–$3M budget · closes Aug 26, 2026
- Tier: Strong fit
- Why it matters: This NOFO funds rapid re-housing, permanent supportive housing, coordinated-entry navigation, and homelessness prevention. If your Florida 501(c)(3) already runs these programs, you can pursue CoC renewal and expansion. The strongest angle is a renewal or expansion project that fits your local CoC pipeline, and the award range leaves room for asks from small to very large. One thing to watch: CoC applications go through your local Continuum of Care, and its internal deadlines typically fall well before HUD's.
