Update: On December 8, 2025, the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provided notice that the FY 2025 NOFO has been withdrawn. HUD has indicated that they plan to release a modified FY2025 NOFO at some point in the future. The local application process in Kalamazoo County has been paused until we learn more. 

In lieu of submitting the local application, we are requesting interested organizations submit letters of interest (LOI) that includes the following details:

  • Official organization name
  • Organizational capacity
  • Experience in delivering housing or services
  • Brief project description
  • Population served
  • Project timeline
  • Budget estimate

Please submit the letters of interest by Friday December 19th at 4pm via email to p.griffin@uwscmi.org.

Any organizations who have already submitted their applications, they will be held.

Once the new NOFO is released, there may be changes to the local application and prioritization processes. We will follow up with additional details at that time. Organizations that do not submit an LOI will still be eligible to apply for funding when the new FY25 HUD CoC NOFO is released.

Please send any questions to calhouncoc@uwscmi.org.
