The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development announced a $4 billion funding opportunity for homelessness services on Monday, shifting away from the Housing First model.
The notice of funding opportunity, or NOFO, for HUD’s Continuum of Care program, represents a major turning point in federal funding for homelessness services. The overhaul prioritizes funding for services focused on treatment and recovery over broad renewals of Tier 1 projects, such as permanent housing.
KRLD's Austin York spoke exclusively with HUD secretary Scott Turner about the paradigm shift.
