"The PA-502 Upper Darby, Chester, Haverford/Delaware County CoC FY 2026 Continuum of Care Local Grant Competition is suspended until further guidance and information isissued by HUD." See NOTICE OF COURT ORDER BELOW.
On August 10, 2026, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) published an important update regarding the FY 2026 Continuum of Care Program Grant Competition:
Notice of Court Order
On Friday, August 7, 2026, the U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island in the related cases State of Washington, et al. v. HUD, et al., 1:26-cv-00439 (D.R.I.), and National Alliance to End Homelessness, et al. v. HUD, et al., 1:26-cv-00436 (D.R.I.), determined HUD’s issuance of its FY2026 Continuum of Care Competition and Youth Homeless Demonstration Program Grants Notice of Funding Opportunity (2026 CoC NOFO) violated the Administrative Procedure Act and vacated it. HUD is currently evaluating the order and considering all legal options, including appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. Despite the order, HUD stands by the lawfulness of the 2026 CoC NOFO because HUD knows that Americans deserve and support commonsense homelessness solutions that restore recovery, self-sufficiency, and accountability for outcomes as set forth in the 2026 CoC NOFO.
Guidance for Current Applicants: Due to the court's order, the 2026 CoC NOFO and its August 26, 2026 application submission deadline are no longer in force as HUD is unable to accept applications at this time. HUD will communicate further guidance and additional updates via the SNAPS Competition Listserv and HUD.gov as they become available. A PDF copy of the 2026 CoC NOFO remains available for informational purposes on the CoC competition page on HUD.gov. Questions regarding the 2026 CoC NOFO may continue to be submitted to CoCNOFO@hud.gov.
The PA-502 Upper Darby, Chester, Haverford/Delaware County CoC FY 2026 Continuum of Care Local Grant Competition is therefore suspended until further guidance and information are issued by HUD.
