Renewal Projects - Existing projects with an expiration date in calendar year 2026 may submit renewals. HUD does allow for minor changes in the project not to exceed 10% funding level changes between budget line items. Transition Grants Projects (New)- allows an existing renewal CoC grant with an expiration date in calendar year 2026 to change components (i.e., shift from RRH to TH) during the next program year. These are considered new project applications. Transition Projects can be created by combining one or multiple grants held by the recipient to create one project with the SAME recipient/subrecipient. The amount of the new transition grant must be the same or less of the total of the projects making the transition grant. If awarded, the new Transition Grant will begin one day after the expiration of the original renewal grant providing continuity of funding. The New Project will have the first year of operations to fully transition the program to the new component. The first year of operation of the new grant may only expend up to 50% of the grant on the former renewal grant program. NOTE: If transitioning from a permanent housing renewal (PSH, RRH, Joint TH/RRH) to transitional housing, the permanent housing participants would not meet eligibility for transitional housing (category 1, 2 and 4 homelessness status). Organizations will have to work to exit permanent housing participants to other permanent housing. Expansion Projects (New) – new project applications that add to existing CoC projects by serving more people, providing new or additional supportive services or both. The recipient/subrecipient, component type and eligible budget line items must be the same in the new expansion grant. Consolidation Grant Projects (Renewal) – One or more grants can be consolidated into one project to streamline grant administration. The recipient/subrecipient and component type, and budget line-item categories must be the same or eligible (e.g. may not have both operating expenses and rental assistance) in the new consolidation grant. New Project (New) - New project applications for new Supportive Services Only – Street Outreach or StandAlone (services not attached to a housing resource), Transitional Housing, Permanent Supportive Housing and Rapid Rehousing. Note: PSH and RRH will fall under the 30% ARD Permanent Housing Cap for the CoC. . DV Bonus New applications for RRH or joint TH/RRH. Note any reallocated projects originally created from a DV Bonus can only be allocated to a new DV project.
