FY2026 CoC Bidders Conference
Thursday, June 25th, 2026
Hybrid Bidders Conference
Location:
The NOFO Bidders Conference will be hybrid on Zoom and in-person from
2:30 PM - 4:30 PM
at
Born Auditorium
170 Otis Street, San Francisco, CA 94103
Homebase and HSH will be facilitating the NOFO FY2026 Bidders conference in preparation for the recently released CoC NOFO.
The Bidders Conference is required for all those involved in the project application process. If you are not involved in drafting/updating the CoC project application, you do not need to come. Many support services and property management staff likely do not need to attend.
If your agency is considering a new or renewal project application (including as an existing HSH subrecipient of CoC funds), Bidders is required and will have vital information about the application process.
HSH and Homebase will be providing an overview of the FY2026 NOFO and the types of projects it can fund. We will also discuss eligible project types and participants, as well as how the application process will look for new and renewal projects. Note that all project applicants will need to have their applications in by July 16th. This date is necessary to meet HUD's mandated timeframe.
The meeting will be hybrid with both in-person and virtual options available. Please get in touch with us if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.
