Introduction and Background

The Rural Nevada Continuum of Care (RNCoC) invites agencies to submit proposals for New CoC Program Projects under the FY 2025 CoC Program Competition. HUD has significantly revised program expectations in this year’s NOFO, prioritizing projects that strengthen system performance, improve public safety outcomes, expand access to treatment and recovery services, and reduce both overall and unsheltered homelessness across rural communities. Because of these changes, the RNCoC has updated its local competition process to ensure all new project applications are evaluated for their ability to contribute meaningfully to these system-wide goals.

New Project Applications seek to expand the capacity or effectiveness of the Rural Nevada homelessness response system by partnering with non-profit organizations and local government agencies to provide street outreach and transitional housing throughout our rural and frontier communities. Projects must demonstrate strong alignment with HUD’s FY 2025 priorities, including:

  • Access to treatment and recovery services, including partnerships with behavioral health providers, SUD treatment, detox/inpatient care, and CCBHCs;
  • Strengthened public safety collaboration, including coordination with law enforcement, first responders, and local emergency service systems;
  • Structured or required service participation, where appropriate, to improve housing stability and reduce returns to homelessness;
  • Improvements in economic mobility, including increased earned income;
  • Reduction in Length of Time Homeless and returns to homelessness;
  • Serving unsheltered households and individuals in encampments, especially where safety or health risks are elevated;
  • Enhancing HMIS and CE infrastructure to support accurate data, strong County coverage, and equitable system performance.
HUD requires that all new projects be ranked and scored to ensure they can demonstrate clear system impact, readiness, and compliance with HUD program rules.

This application provides a structured opportunity for applicants to describe their project design, articulate expected outcomes, document partnerships, and demonstrate capacity to successfully implement the proposed project. Applicants are encouraged to provide clear, detailed responses that illustrate strong alignment with RNCoC priorities, readiness to operate within rural and frontier contexts, and a commitment to advancing measurable improvements in system performance.

The RNCoC seeks thoughtful, strategic proposals that strengthen the local homelessness response system, expand housing and service options, and support the health, safety, and stability of people experiencing homelessness throughout rural Nevada. All interested organizations are encouraged to submit an application. Deadline to complete applications is 5:00 PM PST on December 15, 2025, attachments can be uploaded to the Attachments section of this application. Additional resources to support this local competition can be found on the RNCoC Local Competition page. If additional support is needed please email RNCoC@Wingedwolf.org.
