On July 14, 2017, as part of the annual Continuum of Care Program Competition, HUD released the Notice of Funding Availability for FFY2017 funds. Over 400 HUD-designated Continuums of Care compete for approximately $2 billion as part of a community process. This Letter of Intent Form, which was emailed out on July 19, 2017 to the VCEH listserv, applies to the Vermont Balance of State Continuum of Care (VT BoS CoC) only, which includes all counties within the State of Vermont, except Chittenden which submits a separate CoC NOFA application to HUD. The Vermont Coalition to End Homelessness (VCEH) is the primary decision-making body for the VT BoS CoC. The Vermont State Housing Authority acts in the role as the Collaborative Applicant to submit the CoC Consolidated Application: CoC [Community] Application, CoC Planning application, and a CoC Priority Listing that includes/lists all project applications accepted and ranked or rejected in the CoC local competition.
The Letter of Intent form can be found here. A list of existing FFY2016 VT BoS CoC Projects can be found at: https://www.hudexchange.info/programs/coc/coc-giw-reports/
