2025 Supportive Housing Notice of Funding Availability

OC HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT (OCHCD) announces the release of the 2025 Supportive Housing Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) making available up to $12.05 million dollars of Federal HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME), HOME American Rescue Plan Program (HOME-ARP), Mental Health Services Act (MHSA), 15G Reserves, and Housing Successor Agency (HSA) Funds, to promote the acquisition, new construction, and acquisition/rehabilitation of Supportive Housing and will also provide up to 150 Housing Choice, Mainstream and/or Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing Project Based Vouchers (PBVs) for extremely low-income households who are experiencing homelessness.

Acceptance of a proposal does not constitute a contract and does not obligate OCHCD to award funds and/or PBVs. Funds are available until the NOFA closes, is replaced by a new NOFA, or until all available funds are committed via Board of Supervisors action, whichever occurs first. Interested and qualified applicants who can successfully demonstrate their ability to provide supportive housing for extremely low-income households who are experiencing homelessness are encouraged to submit proposals.

Small-scale housing is an eligible activity under this NOFA, so long as it meets NOFA criteria and the guiding principles in the Commission to End Homelessness Small-Scale Housing Unit Report received and filed by the Board of Supervisors on January 28, 2025.
