ROSS-SC, Extended Deadline is Jan. 12, 2026

In an email to NAHRO, HUD confirmed that the deadline for the ROSS-SC Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) has been extended. The program assists eligible applicants to hire service coordinators who provide supportive services to participants of the ROSS program. Up to $40 million in grant funds will be made available to an estimated 114 grantees. The minimum amount of funding available is $272,255 and the maximum is $816,750.

Applicants can apply here.

For more information about the NOFO, HUD will be having a webinar on December 4, 2025. Those interested can register here.

FSS, Applications Due No Later than Dec. 31, 2025

In a webinar conducted by HUD yesterday, HUD announced that applications that have yet to be received for the FSS program will be accepted until December 31. However, applicants should submit the applications as soon as possible to prevent any delays.

Applicants that already submitted for renewals and need no corrections to be made to their application can expect award announcements by the end of the year. Those that are still submitting applications, if approved for renewal, can expect to receive an award notice by sometime in January.

Authorized Organizational Representatives (AORs) should have already received a link from GrantSolutions to apply. If there are any issues accessing the application please contact HUD at FSS@hud.gov.
