U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development's FY25 Continuum of Care and Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program Grants

The Continuum of Care (CoC) Program is designed to: 

  • promote a community-wide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness;
  • provide funding for efforts by nonprofit providers, States, Indian Tribes or Tribally Designated Housing Entities, and local governments to quickly rehouse individuals and families experiencing homelessness, persons experiencing trauma or a lack of safety related to fleeing or attempting to flee domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, and youth experiencing homelessness while minimizing the trauma and dislocation caused by homelessness;
  • promote access to, and effective utilization of, mainstream programs and programs funded with State or local resources; and,
  • optimize self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing homelessness.

The goal of the Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP) is to support the development and implementation of a coordinated community approach to preventing and ending youth homelessness and sharing that experience with and mobilizing communities around the country toward the same end. The population to be served by the demonstration program is youth ages 24 and younger who are experiencing homelessness, including unaccompanied and pregnant or parenting youth.

CapitalOne's Scaling Pathways to Homeownership Open Call

Scaling Pathways to Homeownership is a $25 million initiative sponsored by the Capital One Foundation designed to identify and support bold solutions that expand access to affordable homeownership across the United States. This Open Call seeks solutions that can drive transformative change, including innovations in housing counseling, consumer education, and for-sale housing production at scale. Priority will be given to proposals with the potential to create meaningful and measurable impact through resources and tools that address information gaps or supply challenges, improve access, and support homeownership readiness to make it easier for individuals and families to benefit from the wealth-building that can come from homeownership. The Scaling Pathways to Homeownership Open Call is open to organizations across the United States and U.S. Territories, including partnerships and collaborations. Competitive applications will present solutions that are innovative, impactful, bridge-building, and durable — demonstrating measurable potential to expand homeownership, strengthen community partnerships, and sustain long-term change.
