The Letter

Subject Protect Continuum of Care Renewals for People Already Housed

I am writing about HUD's Continuum of Care grants, the main federal money that keeps formerly homeless people in housing.

HUD's 2026 grant notice would shift that money away from permanent housing. The National Low Income Housing Coalition estimates at least 97,000 people could lose their housing as a result. A federal judge vacated the notice on August 7 because HUD skipped public comment. On September 16, the 1st Circuit paused that ruling, so HUD can run the competition while the appeal continues.

The people in these programs were homeless before. The grant decisions now under way will decide whether they stay housed.

Please support language in HUD's next funding bill that funds Continuum of Care renewals for people already in permanent housing before any new priorities.
