This meeting will discuss all aspects of this RFI, especially considerations for designing projects with partners in order to access the HUD bonus category points. The CoC Bonus is offered by HUD to provide services and permanent housing to homeless households.

The Request For Information (RFI) offered by the Westchester Continuum of Care to solicit proposals from eligible partner agencies requesting to be included as sub-recipient providers in the application to HUD for Continuum of Care Bonus (CoCB) and Domestic Violence Bonus (DVB) projects, which might be awarded through the FY2021 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program competition.

The RFI and the forms required to submit a proposal can be found here: https://www.wcochomeless.org/fy2021-applications

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.
