The FY 2025 CoC NOFO TA Handbook is a practical, one-stop guide to help agencies understand this year’s NOFO, design strong projects, and complete a compliant e-snaps application. It summarizes key HUD rules, funding options, eligibility requirements, and major 2025 changes so you don’t have to search across multiple HUD documents.

This guide explains how renewal projects can shift from one CoC component to another under the 2025 NOFO. The guide outlines the rules, eligibility requirements, and timeline for creating a compliant transition grant. It clarifies what CoCs must do to demonstrate consent, what applicants must submit, and how projects must fully operate under the new component within one year.
