Opportunity snapshot. This Grants.gov announcement — Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 Continuum of Care Competition and Renewal or Replacement of Youth Homeless Demonstration Program Grants — is cataloged under number FR-6700-N-25 and tied to CFDA assistance listing 14.267, posted by Department of Housing and Urban Development. Grants.gov currently shows the opportunity as closed, first posted on July 5, 2023 and last updated on August 7, 2023. The funding category is Discretionary, delivered as a grant.

Award economics. The award range on file is $2,500 -- $15,000,000. The agency has projected $3.1 billion in total estimated funding for this announcement. It expects to issue 8000 awards. If the agency funds the expected 8000 awards from the $3.1 billion estimated pool, the average award works out to roughly $392,000. Cost sharing or matching funds are required, meaning applicants must contribute a portion of the project budget from non-federal sources — factor this into your financial plan before drafting the proposal. Federal award ranges are often upper bounds; actual allocations reflect program appropriations, the strength of the applicant pool, and the evaluation committee's scoring.

Deadline and action path. This opportunity closed on September 28, 2023. Future funding cycles may be published under the same CFDA number, so monitoring the parent program page is the most reliable way to catch re-announcements. Every Grants.gov submission requires an active SAM.gov registration and a Unique Entity ID. Review the Eligibility section below carefully — federal eligibility categories (nonprofit, state or local government, tribal, individual, educational institution, small business) have distinct registration and reporting requirements. Pre-application outreach to the listed agency contact is permitted and often welcomed — it helps clarify scope and scoring priorities.
