Commission on Ending Homelessness June 18, 2026

The City of Winston-Salem's Commission on Ending Homelessness held a meeting on June 18, 2026, focusing primarily on community collaboration and upcoming federal funding opportunities to address homelessness. A key procurement-related topic discussed was the upcoming release of a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) and a request for proposals (RFP) scheduled for June 22, 2026, which will enable agencies to apply for federal funds to support homelessness programs. The deadline for submitting applications to HUD is August 26, 2026. The meeting also covered committee structures and engagement strategies to improve coordination among service providers, community partners, and advocacy groups. Additionally, there was discussion about improving communication and resource sharing, including clarifying the coordinated entry system and the by-name list for homeless individuals. No contract awards or specific vendor selections were mentioned, but the NOFO and RFP release represent significant procurement activities for the community's homelessness initiatives.
