The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) released the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the FY 2026 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program Competition on June 1, 2026. The Imperial County Department of Social Services (ICDSS), acting on behalf of the Imperial Valley Continuum of Care (IVCCC), is requesting proposals from nonprofit, tribal, and local government organizations aiding homeless populations within the County of Imperial. The IVCCC is interested in receiving project applications that meet the requirements of the Domestic Violence (DV) Bonus, Continuum of Care (CoC) Bonus, and Expansion Projects.

 

HUD continues to upload and provide updates to this NOFO. Please ensure all of the e-snaps users in your organization have attempted to log in to the system. New security measures mean that many user accounts have been locked out due to inactivity.

​

Please continue to monitor this page for upcoming announcements and future updates (marked in red text).

​

Applicants must complete an application and upload the required attachments in e-snaps through the e-snaps portal. At this time, HUD has not opened the FY 2026 project applications in e-snaps or provided detailed application instructions.

 

As such, the Administrative Entity on behalf of the IVCCC is providing an application template outside of e-snaps to assist in project planning and preparation to submit the application within e-snaps, once the e-snaps application is opened. The finalized application will be required to be completed in e-snaps.  It is important that persons completing the e-snaps application do NOT click the “SUBMIT” button. Late applications will not be considered.
