Only Continuums of Care which score high enough will receive CoC Bonus and/or DV Bonus funding.
CoC’s are allowed to submit more than one CoC Bonus and/or DV Bonus application to HUD, so the Westchester CoC may choose one or two CoC Bonus partners and one or more DV Bonus partners to submit an application.
