# HUD Considers Homelessness Grant Changes

HUD is considering changes to Continuum of Care grant conditions that would shift away from prioritizing rapid, permanent housing through the housing-first approach. More than 1,000 public comments were submitted by the deadline, including comments from nonprofits and local agencies urging HUD to withdraw the notice. Because the changes remain under consideration, organizations receiving or pursuing Continuum of Care funding could face changes to grant eligibility, priorities, or requirements if HUD proceeds.

- Organizations that receive or pursue Continuum of Care funding should follow the policy process for updates that could affect eligibility, funding priorities, and grant conditions.
- Nonprofits and local agencies may want to assess how a potential shift away from housing-first priorities could affect their funded services and future grant proposals.
